Update #18, Nov 20th.

Jitka had a nice experience getting out in the fresh air from the hospital on her way to the airport.  She told me she really enjoyed the smell of the air.   The aircrew arrived a little early.  I had to scramble to get Rowan to the hospital on time to say bye to  Jitka.  Teresa was kind enough (again) to come to our house at 6:30AM to babysit.  When came to time to depart she drove Rowan to the emergency and left Encsi with Crystal - who has also been a tremendous help with the kids. Rowan and I had the opportunity to say bye to her on the small Beachcraft airplane.  Jess accompanied her for the ride and helped her with getting situated at her new room.  I am going to start driving there today and going to take all her cards and notes you sent her. 

I can not write anything about Shepherd Center yet. It will be a couple of days before I have a chance to ask Jitka and look around myself.  Now I am getting my thoughts together what to take to Jitka and for the kids.  It will be a lot of driving to and from Atlanta for the next coming weeks.  Will try to keep this blog up to date as well as I can. 

I have got so accustomed to driving to the hospital few times a day here, that it feels strange this morning not to do so.
