Barb and I had a bit of a scare last week when I became sick with headaches and a low fever. I was admitted into Bennington Hospital on Tuesday and stayed there until Friday under the excellent care of Dr. Marie George and Holly Deforest RN. On Friday my team decided that I should fly by air ambulance to Baltimore where I had my surgery. Two ambulance rides and my first trip in a Lear Jet later we arrived at Johns Hopkins at 3am. They began testing me immediately, over the week I had had two CAT scans, two MRI’s and even two LP (Spinal taps). After four days at Johns Hopkins we were released and I am now on IV antibiotics for the next two weeks. Barb has done an amazing job learning how to administer the drugs, flush my IV line and overall takes great care of me. Mom and Dad have been back up in VT to help run things while Barb juggles all of the medical issues with me☺ That is all I have to report right now – I can’t thank everyone enough for the emails, cards, food and help- that we have received.

Barbara graduated from Castleton College this weekend. She has a Masters in Education and we are so proud of her! She pulled it off while raising two children, working full time at BBA, working weekends at Stratton Mountain, working as Head of Riding at Brown Ledge Camp in the summer and nursing me back to health! Way to go Barb!
