April Update

  It's been awhile since I've posted.  Justin's situation is hard to write about, but I know there are people who want to know what's going on with Justin, my son.  In truth, he is getting sicker and weaker.  For awhile,he made great progress, talking, eating, and getting back into his power wheelchair.   Then he started getting weaker.  His left lung became covered with secretions, and he needed surgery to scrape things out. Then a CT scan revealed more new spine fractures (total of 7).  After that, he just hasn't been able to get over the hump.  This week, Justin decided to discontinue the weaning from the ventilator.  He is on full breath support and can no longer use the voice valve to talk without dangerous oxygen drops.  Pain medication has been significantly increased to help him deal with the pain.

Upper Peninsula: Perkins Park

I'm back at home, and the cabinet project is finished.  It all looks very nice, but I thought the old cabinets looked nice too.  We don't have any big trips planned until Peru in the late fall. My plan is to continue with the trips that I haven't blogged about and fill in as we take mini-trips in Wisconsin this spring/summer/fall.

From August 2021:

From Little Bay du Noc campground on Lake Michigan, I drove north on Hwy 41 until I reached Perkins Park on Lake Superior.  Because the Scamp can fit into the smallest spots, I was able to reserve an electric site on the weekend that no one else could fit into.

The campground got very busy with families and a packed campground.  Callie and I found some remote beaches to walk on Big Bay, but I spent most of the weekend reading.
