Visiting Precious Kimi

Greetings from Portland,

Kimi (one of Bruce's granddaughters and responsible for the birth of "Oma") has been in hospital for quite some time starting with the repair of gall bladder and resulting in other damage internally. It is four months and two surgeries later, including the birth of a healthy baby boy, and she is still in the hospital.

Because I would soon be off on Griswold's Travels, I made a quick decision to fly to Portland 'ere I departed again. Within about 36-hours I had obtained a plane ride on Good.to.Go.com, with the help of the Uber driver who located hospital housing, checked in and was knocking on her hospital door.

Ifeel so fortunate to be here -- it is a joy to be close. Kimi has been in abdominal pain that comes and goes and suffered from an inability to eat now for 16 days. She goes from drowsy to her quick-witted self in a nano-second, however. Then her color slowly fades and again she 💤💤💤💤💤's.

It has been a long, difficult four-month drama. Kimi does NOT whine at all. One of her most painful experiences continues to be her separation from her two-month boy child. It will be happy, happy day when she hears "you can go home!"

Thoughts of light and love are encouraged for this precious lady,

Her adoring Oma, Laura

Short quote from 1920!




"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents more and more closely the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron."
