Rita's expected arrival date is this Sunday.
Mom was assigned homework by her physical therapist to have a "non-stressful out-of-the-house" experience. If she and Dad feel okay after her current doctor appointment, they are going to call us and we will meet them for frozen yogurt at Derek's favorite store--the kind where you put on all your own candy toppings, then pay by the weight of your sundae.
We had a lovely 40th anniversary party for my parents last night, with designer m&m's in their wedding colors with their names on them. Mom was up more than usual and the pain in her head is subsiding. Unfortunately the two new screws still need tightened....yuck. Today has been emotional, but the smoke has finally cleared and my mom walked next door to practice stairs, her longest walk in two months!!!!
Milepost 261
The car was going northbound on this road just north of Challis, Idaho, when it went down the embankment on the left side of the picture.
Car vs. tree.
The car impacted this tree and then flipped over its hood, landing on its side facing backward against some other trees.
Miracle
This is a photo of the front passenger side of the Camry after the accident. We're so lucky to have my mom.
Front view.
The bumper was put on the hood for towing purposes.
A good Toyota ad
Despite all the damage on the other side of the car, the driver's side was relatively intact. Thanks to the designers at Toyota, my dad is here to support my mom.
Janet's first helicopter ride
This was the helo that took my mom from the site to this hospital in Idaho Falls, about 150 miles away.

Hi everybody,
I didn't forget about the 40th anniversary, and it sounds like you created a wonderful celebration for them, Jill. I was one of Janet's bridesmaids and yet somehow I can't remember the bridesmaid dress. Perhaps it's better I don't?! I do remember having an absolutely wonderful time at the wedding.
Love to all,
Carolyn
