Good Bye, Butterworth

     The door closes on the Butterworth leg of the journey.  Nurses, aids, and staff call out well wishes and good-byes to Caren as she rides by in the wheelchair that will transfer her to another facility.  All packed up and ready to go - it's scary to leave a caring, comfortable, safe environment where you and your team know how to care for you.  Jesse calls just before Caren leaves Room 4024, her home base since January 04.   His call is comforting to his sister.
     Another arctic front moves through Michigan, and PTSD kicks in as Caren prepares to ride in a vehicle to the new facility.  Jesse has equally bad weather while traveling west - some passes being closed for the season.  
     Godspeed, Jesse.
     Blessings Caren, on the next leg of your journey.

     Abundant blessings, and many thanks to everyone at Butterworth who made it possible for Caren to proceed this far.
     Congratulations to Nicholas on passing your Nursing Boards.  You are terrific.
