Mom got to go home from the hospital today. She's feeling much better, especially since for the first time in several weeks she's not short of breath. She'll keep the chest tube in for as long as it's needed to keep her breathing better.

kilerkki and rurounigochan met me at the airport, and then we toured downtown Salt Lake City a bit, and had a very nice lunch at Lion House. Back in Provo, we met up with beloved_baka and Fi and the five of us looked at Go-chan's sketch books and ate ( Read more... )
