Mikey update - Sun 6/14 9:00pm CST

Hi All,
Sorry for no update yesterday...not too much to report. Pat flew in late Friday night as a surprise to Mike! It was extra nice, especially since Pat was here last weekend too!

On Saturday, Pat & I took a trip to Madison, WI for my cousin's graduation party and to see some family. After a quick stop in Rockford (actually 2, both on the way there to see my Grandma, and on the way back to see my parents, brother, and sister-in-law), we headed back to Lisle, and spent the evening with Mike & Nicole, relaxing and watching movies. Mike really enjoyed having a day with "nothing to do". He has many appointments during the week, and it does get tiring, so he was glad to have a "day off".

Today, we had a relaxing morning with coffee and muffins (muffins courtesy of the Melsa kids!), then headed up to Pete & Johnny's for lunch. We were joined by some friends - Murphy, Melinda, John, and Doug (Nicole was there too...working!). We enjoyed the make-your-own-Bloody Mary bar...and had some lunch. After a couple hours there, we headed back to Mike & Nicole's, and again, friends joined us for a nice Sunday afternoon. We sat outside in the sun, and had a nice time. A couple more visitors joined - "the Dave", and Craig, his girlfriend Julie, and Zach (my friends from Round Lake Beach) stopped by for a visit.

Dave took Pat to the airport around 6:30, and me, Mike, Doug, Sarah, and Nicole had some great grilled pork and potatoes (courtesy of Murphy and "Chef Doug"). It was a nice dinner outside on the picnic table. Eventually, everyone left, and now we're sitting inside, relaxing after a long, fun-filled day.

Tomorrow morning will bring a PT visit for Mike, his first in the office. We're not sure what's in store for that visit, but I will post more tomorrow afternoon. I will be headed back to San Diego tomorrow night, and I will be very sad to leave, but it's been a great long visit!

Until tomorrow...
Love & Blessings,
karin
