We made it

The flight was wonderfully smooth. Coleman slept for two hours but was also able to look out of the window and see some of the sights. Of course he was the equivalent of a major bar fly so everything was a bit "smokey" in his words. The car was waiting for us right at the plane and we're in the apartment now.  He actually enjoyed seeing the sights from the car. It's been so long since he's been able to do that. He does feel that everyone here likes him which is a bonus. He wanted to make sure that our great pilots Adam and John were friends...and they are!

Coleman is hung over, hungry and grumpy. 
Getting settled in here will be a big obstacle for him. It's not his home and he's on sound patrol looking for any offending new noise.
Jeff is gone in search of beans and rice...
Working our way through this...grateful that we made it here.

  2. Melanie, I am so happy you have made it to the apartment. I prayed aloud at church yesterday for all of you and as we listened to a flute play "On Eagle's Wings" I had tears in my eyes as I thought of you flying to KC today. I do hope Coleman will be able to make the adjustment to our apartment and that you will all be comfortable there as you start this treatment which will hopefully be successful. I will look forward to reading these blogs. Linda

  4. Praise God! What a relief it must be to both you and Coleman to be in the right place! We know there's still a ways to go in his healing, but you must be elated to see him being cared for by people who understand! We'll keep praying. Blessings, Keallie
