Made it to Goa!

Wow! What a day today was. I woke up early again, about 5 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Too much anticipation of the day and what it would bring and it was plenty! Seemed like everyone in the hospital that we had ever seen from day one came by to check in. Another couple from Kauai arrived at the hospital today. Andrea, the wife, will start on her adventure of having both hips resurfaced starting tomorrow morning. We said goodbye to Deni and his wife who we had come pretty close to while there, took some pictures, met with the Dr for the last time, had physical therapy, Kim not me, and headed out for the airport. Tomorrow or the next day I'll try my best to describe traffic in downtown Mumbai towards the airport. It was like nothing we had ever experienced but eventually we made it, through the terminal and boarded our flight. It was a 45 minute flight and looked like rain when we arrived. We are now at home in the Marriott Resort in Panaji, Goa, India. Again the drive from the airport to where we are was supposed to be 45 minutes but because of the rain took more than two hours, but we're here finally. I'm wiped out and and know Kim must be. Today's events have not been without their challenges but we look forward to the next few days here by the beach. Yes, Bill R, I have my floaties with me, thanks. We haven't seen the water yet cause it was dark by the time we got here. Just ordered a Marriott burger which should arrive in about 10 minutes or so. It's late here so we're gonna share it but i know it will be good. Then some much needed rest in a more comfortable bed for as long as it lasts. Will update tomorrow. Keep praying as we are not nearly through all we have to go through but Mumbai is behind us. It was a blessing in so many ways that we will never forget. Most importantly, Kim's surgery is behind her and better days are ahead for her. Thanks for continuing to read. We're counting the days until we're back in the good ole US of A.

love from Panaji, Goa, India, de & ke

Good to know you made it safely. We're heading off to DisneyWorld today to celebrate Brad being able to walk again. But, I'm taking my laptop! Can't miss a day of not knowing what's going on with ya'll!

Maybe that would be a good way for your family to celebrate your new ability to walk, Kim. Keep up the good work, and I'll tell Mickey and Minnie to be expecting you!...Goofy will be expecting you, David! You take abuse so well! :)

Love and prayers,
JH

We have been out of town for a much needed break so we were behind on your news. Kim the video was just great of you walking and smiling! What an answer to all of our prayers. While I know you still have alot of work ahead of you, we are amazed at your progress. We are really looking forward to seeing your beautiful smile again instead of watching you try to hide the pain.

Thanks for sharing this with all of us. We have really enjoyed all of your adventures and your wonderful progress. We will continue to pray everyday for God's continued blessings on both of you.

Enjoy Goa. Can't wait to hear about the seafood. Hope it is better than the prehistoric fish we saw in Romania!
