Mom had surgery Oct 1st and was just released today Oct 12. It has been a long couple of weeks. She had back surgery, pretty extensive. They put 8 screws in her back L4, L-5 and found a cyst on her L-5 SI area (benign). She has to wear a shell brace whenever she is up for 3 months.
She has to wear this magnetic bone growth enhancer for 4 hours a day for 3 months. she really has the hardware!
She is doing well however, walking with her walker and climbing stairs. They are going to have Home Health come in and help for a few weeks. It will be probably 6 months before she is back to snuff. Was so happy today to get the staples out of her back (about 20 of them). And more happy to be home.

So glad to see your family's pictures and to hear of Jennifer's wedding...what a handsome couple! You have quite the posterity now. We are at Jennie and Mike's in Boston so Jennie got in on the pictures too.
We are making the grandchildren tour...leave tomorrow for DC then to London. We have four new ones. Jennie is busy with her twins and a toddler. They just moved into a new condo in Cambridge and love city living. We like it too. Steve has been doing DIY for two weeks to get them settled.
Love to all. When I arrive home I am going to set up a blog for us...this is the one Jennie uses too. jenniemikeandcarter.blogspot.com
Claire and Steve
I didn't know about Grandma Lowder. You will have to give her our best and wish her a speedy recovery for us.
