Regarding the move into the Chase Hotel and Suites, things certainly didn't go as smoothly as they should have. When Mark and Dianna arrived, they found that their room had been given away to someone else. The Chase gave them another room down the road but unfortunately this room was far from ideal (bugs, faulty toilet, etc.). Somehow they were able to get the person that took their original room to move out so they were able to move in. All issues resolved, right? NOT!! The person that had temporarily stayed in that room was a smoker (even though the room is designated as non-smoking). The housekeepers were very helpful though and put air purifiers in the room last night and wiped it down with bleach. They also helped Dianna carry their things into the room. Hopefully Mark and Dianna can settle in okay and be comfortable for the next several weeks.
If all that wasn't enough, as they were driving to the store last night, a small chip in their car windshield turned into a large crack from one side to the other. Can anything else go wrong??
Other than that, Mark is doing great. He was in pain quite a bit last night but is doing much better today. Home Health came by for a visit this morning and taught Dianna how to take care of the lines and change the dressing. Dianna said it won't be as bad as she thought. Mark was finally brave enough to look at the line placement this afternoon. Home Health will be back tomorrow to check on him.
By the way, they have internet connection so please leave Mark and Dianna comments here on the blog. They will be so pleased to hear from you all as your support and encouragement is needed and much appreciated.
Happy New Year!
p.s. Notice I put "2008" as the date on the pictures below. I'll be doing that for at least a month!

Diana, I am so glad you emailed to share this blog address with me. Your family has been on my mind and I assumed from the silence that you must be overwhelmed and I didn't want to 'bug'. You are in our prayers still...as well as in the prayers of the entire Changepoint Community Church in Anchorage, AK... We have a ton of praying friends up there who are curious to know how your family is doing. Be strong and don't let the pidly crap get you down (cracked windshield...room snafu).
