Talked to Mike yesterday. They were on their way back from a doctor's appointment in SLC. He said he got his mask adjusted so it doesn't pinch anymore. He has to wear it more often now to reduce scarring. They also told him he could use a little lidocaine jelly (my idea!) on some of the really tender areas on his face for wound care. They stopped by Paul's house on the way home and saw Edna and said it was nice.

He spent his first night in his house on Sunday and said it was a bit difficult but not impossible to get out of his bed. There are some things in the bedroom that he is going through and it is possible that some things were put in Bette's house. They won't know what was salvaged until all of the boxes are unpacked. He says there was nothing left from the kitchen. I told him that he could get his dream kitchen utensils and how much fun he's going to have shopping!! (I would have fun anyway)

I don't know what their plans for Thanksgiving since they are home. The may go to Ted's or Judy's place. I will find out.

One thing I know was that when I was visiting, Mike talked a lot about his work at the school district. He really enjoyed the work there and talked at length about the people. It was nice to hear some of his stories and I am glad he made some good people connections. I am thankful that they were so generous and loving towards him. Thanks to all who are checking in on this blog. Our family is very grateful for all of your prayers and help that you have extended to us. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving and be well.
More later,
and so we go
