I am at Hermann Hospital now. I have a pulmonary function test @ 12:30. Since I have never had one, I don't know how long it will last. I plan to go see Mal, sign the Grotto bear and visit w/ her family when I am done with the test. Given Kevin's message, I will probably be gone by the time y'all arrive. Staggered visits are probably best anyway. I am wearing my Longhorn Cavern bat shirt :) I also brought my candle that is "cave" scented that I bought at the Kerrville ICS. I really hope she is off the breathing tube and can have cave scented aromatherapy! It sure helps me when I am at work and missing that awesome smell.
I will update y'all after my visit. - from julia's cell On Jul 19, 2013, at 11:21, "Kevin McGowan" <[email protected]> wrote: > I’m not sure… Em gets out of work about 3 or so.. and she’s coming by to pick > me up..
