Mama Marian made the very long journey from Boston to Virginia this week. She had an appointment and infusion on Thursday after spending Wednesday night at the Hope Lodge. Dr. Drappatz feels that Mom's strength is excellent (however, Dad continues to remind her that he ALSO feels her coordination could be much better with more PT). She does not have another MRI until July as her past two have shown so much improvement.
So, Dad and Mama Marian got on the road early Thursday afternoon to come see their favorite daughter. They spent the night in New Jersey and left the next morning for Virginia. Unfortunately, the Subaru's A/C died out somewhere along the line on day 2 of the drive and they suffered the remainder of the journey in the heat.
We took full advantage of Mom's handicapped access and got front and center parking at Wolf Trap on Friday night, along with a very quick in and out of the parking lot. I packed what food I remembered from what Mom calls our "first date with Jody" and we had a very nice dinner on the lawn while the sun set. It was another perfect night under the stars for "A Prairie Home Companion" and we not only enjoyed Garrison Keillor but also relished in the entertainment on the lawn chair next to us... a drunken old lady downing glasses of wine and cheering like it was a Metallica concert. I'm really not quite sure which show was better!
