A-haunting we will go! Happy Halloween season
Recuperation journey: Hallelujah he's home
Cameron is out of the Brooklyn hospital where he has been since he fractured his hip in a bike accident Oct. 15. Phew.
What an awful drive Ralph had Tuesday to Brooklyn and back - using hand controls on his modified mini-van - in torrential downpours.
He and Allegra left at 4 p.m. and they were gone for eight and a half hours.
Driving in the rain in the dark didn't help either.
But that's over and now it's upward and onward to help our son who has his own recuperation journey.

In addition to providing funds to purchase books for newborns, Edgewell also donated free sippy cups and feminine products.
“Edgewell is pleased to partner with Griffin Hospital to provide financial and product support to provide parents with the tools they need to get their children off to a good start,” said Michael Law, Senior Director, Customer Strategy and Planning at Edgewell and a member of Griffin Hospital’s Board of Directors.
The Books for Babies program provides a free children’s book to parents who have their baby at the Childbirth Center.
A trained volunteer visits with parents to introduce the program and talk about the “how and why” of reading aloud to babies.
Reading to babies builds a bond between parent and child, and stimulates brain development. Reading books opens doors to conversations and builds communication skills, language and literacy, as well as social and emotional skills.

Recuperation journey: Heading home
It appears that son Cameron and I are going to have dueling recuperation journeys. Yikes!
He has been in a hospital in Brooklyn since Oct. 15 when he had an accident while riding his bike, fractured his hip, and needed surgery.
Now he's learning to use a walker.
Ralph and Allegra are on their way to pick him up this afternoon.
There's really no room for me to go along; we do have a mini-van but Ralph's wheelchair takes up a lot of space in back.
Plus Cameron is 6'3" and needs a bit of space himself.
Wish us luck!
