Good evening. 

Well, we made it to Oakland safely. We left around 4:30, and it was starting to sprinkle a bit as we left. Then, as soon as we turned onto highway 50 it started to snow! And it snowed rather hard, and the road was a bit slushy. We were even behind a snow plow for awhile!  It was beautiful, but it was dark so we couldn't really see much, except what was in the headlights! Traveling in the snow to Oakland brought back MANY memories. And we were, once again, SO thankful for our Honda Pilot. There were chain requirements, and the inspector look long and hard at our tires and waved us on and told us to be safe. David got quite car sick; as always! Some things never change. As soon as we got low enough to get out of the snow, it rained the rest of the way. Poured! But we did make it there; exactly at 9:30 when we were supposed to be there for check in. So we checked in, and then waited. Of course, it is always rush to get there, so we can sit and wait. Anyway, David had the injection for the bone scan at 10:00, chest CT was scheduled for 11:00, but he got in a few minutes early. Then it was wait until the bone scan at 12:30. David did NOT want to eat in the hospital cafeteria, so we just didn't eat at all this morning. By the time everything was done, we got to the hotel around 2:45 or so. Then we unloaded our stuff and walked across the street to eat, finally! We went to Fuddrucker's, and then came back to the hotel to relax. We decided we will just veg in the hotel until we have to leave in the morning. So that is where we are now. We can't wait till tomorrow is over and we can go home!! Thank you so much for your prayers, we made it safely here because of them! It is supposed to snow tomorrow, too, so please continue to pray for us as we go to San Francisco and then home. Thank you. 

Well, that is about all for now. Thank you, again, for your prayers. Thank you for checking in on David. Please pray he doesn't get car sick on the way home. Thank you. God bless you all. We love you.
