We arrived back in Gainesville early yesterday morning, after a 14 hour trip from NJ.  We started the day out by visiting my mom in the hospital.  During the two days we were there she was alert and able to talk to us.  She knew who we were and understood what we were saying.  She basically had been asleep for about 7 days because she couldn't swallow food or get her medication.  She now has a feeding tube inserted and is getting food and medication through it.  After receiving the medication for a few days, she woke up.  What a blessing it was to be able to talk to her during the time we were there.  Thanks for all your prayers.

We had a great time at the wedding.  It was so fun to see a number of former students and their spouses and kids.  Here are some of those we saw.
