Lucille Update #2

I just received this note from Rick:

"Yes we are back in MI, we got back last week and have been very busy. It is always hectic when we return from a long trip, seeing the kids and grand-kids, but this time we're dealing with mom & dads issues also. So sorry I have not replied sooner.

Mom was moved to a specialty hospital last week, they have been tending to her legs better. Her attitude is still great, there have been some days this whole mess does get to her. She is a strong lady and has been showing it. .........."

If you happen to be a newcomer to this blog, here's the first part of the story:
  • Lucille fell from the landing at the top of the steps to their trailer.
  • Both legs suffered a compound fracture just above the ankle.
  • She's been hospitalized in Corpus Christi since the accident.
  • Son Rick and his wife, Dianne, were spending the winter at Rockport 35 RV park but have now returned to Michigan.
  • Their daughter is working as a Visiting Nurse in Corpus Christi.
  • Husband Dick, he of back-rubbing fame, is still at the park and visits Lucille every day. (At least it was every day while we were there; it might have changed now.)
It will be a long summer for Dick and Lucille. They'd no doubt benefit from a friendly word now and then from each of us. If you'd care to be part of Lucille's Cheer Up Team, send your cards and letters here:
