My Momma and some scenes from a car

Mom/Oma's "party" before her hip replacement surgery. 
 
Oma and Opa with 6 out of 9 grandkids.

Crazy bunch included Margo and Doug, who are hosting my parents while we are in our rental house which is not practical for Mom to stay in.

Arrived at the hospital, ready to get fixed up!

Pre-op, getting ready and getting drugged!
 
After surgery - she's talking to Margo and he's talking to my older brother.

The gmen came to visit.
 
Margo and Doug had brought some beautiful flowers when they came to visit.
Mom will finally be getting out tomorrow, she went to the rehab floor a couple days after surgery and she's doing great!  She had to get a special walker since she can't use her hands due to her rheumatoid arthritis and she's zooming around.  She gave us a scare when her heart rate was high and they didn't know why, but no problems now.
 
Driving into and around Baltimore every day wasn't really too bad, we seemed to find different ways of getting home every day!  These were some of our scenes.
 



 
Just in case you didn't know what colour it was!


And many thanks to Nana, who had Nathan stay with her so we could visit Mom every day.  He always has a good time with her.

What a lovely family you have.
I hope mom improves with each passing day and is soon feeling pain free and its easier for her to move about and have fun with her family at home.
