Thanksgiving

We had a safe trip up here to Brookville, PA.  At noon, I got a call from Joel.  He had been having terrible headaches, so I sent him to the Dr.  The Dr. wanted Joel to go to the hospital to get a MRI on his head!  The rest of the way up here I was worrying that we would get to Mom's and have to turn around and go home.  The Dr. thought his brain might be bleeding!  About 15 minutes from our arrival, I got another call from Joel.  There was no bleeding, but there was evidence that he had had a concussion.  A couple of weeks ago, a box fell on his head at work.  So, he had gotten a concussion from that incident.  His headaches came on so suddenly and severely that they really worried me.  Dr. said he would have trouble for about another ten days.  Needless to say, I am grateful that he will be okay.  We are watching a snow storm head our way.  Not sure when we will head back.  We may be okay here because a lot of storms go north of here.  I took some pictures on our way here, but haven't downloaded them yet.  We got to Richmond and it was foggy and drizzly, it actually looked pretty to me.  We saw a lot of RV sales places and thought of Dad.  We managed to not miss any turns this trip.  I wrote the routes we take on two index cards and kept track of where we were.  Scott got his new camera and he took a lot of pictures.  Unfortunately, he took a bunch of me.  They will not get published anywhere or there will be a problem at the McNeill house!  Scott is laughing at my statement!

Glad you had a good trip and didn't miss any turns! I may make that trip after spring semester is over, so I might need to borrow your cards. :) I'm glad that you guys didn't have to turn back when Joel got sick. Hopefully he will feel better soon!
