While I'm home today, I figured I'd update my challenges cause it's hard to do on my phone. With that said, I've updated post 155 and only have 1 left for this! I'm repacking today, both the suitcase and Braxton, cause we're going to Louisiana to see my parents. Dad is still in the hospital :(

[Lina]

Sorry to hear about your dad, Susan. Is your mum ok? I'm sure she'll love to see you all.

Good on you for keeping on top of your reading!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Thanks, CaroB. I just got off the phone with mom, she's doing ok, but she says the doctors are worried about dad...he's not improving like he should. They've had to put a trach tube in for him to breath, and he has a gastro tube so they can feed him and they put him back on a ventilator yesterday. They pulled some fluid out of his lungs and he's got an infection there. It's not looking too good :(
