I spoke with Chris today around 5:30 pm. They had just gotten on 95 heading home. He was released late this morning. He had to go get his meds and of course had to wait for them. They then went to complete the paperwork for his 14 day leave. The captain (maybe) was in a meeting so Chris and Michelle got some lunch. When they got back the captain had come in but had not taken care of the paperwork. It seems that is typical of the military. Hurry up and wait. You would think there would be some consideration that he had just been through surgery, but I guess not. I may not have relayed this exactly right, but that idea was it took several hours after being discharged from the hospital, to take care of what had to be taken care of before he could leave. He seems to be doing well. I'm sure he'll blogg soon and fill in the blanks. Thanks for prayers and concerns.
Mr. Belvin turned 95 today. We'll going to see him on Sunday. He's doing really well.
After visiting him on Sunday, Gene and I will be going to Nags Head, if anyone wishes to visit, let us know. We'll be there until Saturday.

CHRIS
As Margaret said, Chris is doin just fine. Talked with him last night(Wed). He's supposed to be released today and is going home on 14 day convelence leave. Sounds like they caught it just in time before any serious complications set in. We all appreciate your prayeers and concerns.

CHRIS
For those of you who might not know, Chris is now back in the Army and is stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. I don't think my family knows as I just found out on Sunday. I'm glad the surgery went well and hopefully Chris is well on the mend. No more scares like that, okay, Chris.
As some of you know, Chris was operated on last night for appendiscitis (sp). I'll copy what I've sent to Howie next.
Michelle called last night around 1:45 to say the doctor had called her and said that everything had gone fine. she was in route at the time.
At 3:45 Chris called to say that he was fine and everything had gone fine. When I told him that Michelle had called us, he said that he would not have called and waken us up if he knew that she had called us. I told him, that I was glad that he called anyway. It was even better hearing his voice that verified that he was fine, rather than hearing it.
Don't know anything else, we did not talk further with either call since it was the middle of the night.

Let's get this ball rollin'!
I checked the two campsites in Rodanthe today.
The first campground is Camp Hatteras in Rodanthe. Tent sites are $42 per night for 2 people. Additional people are ...under 6 is free, 6-18 is $4 and over 18 is $6. Two tents can fit on one site. Water and electricity included. Indoor pool, outdoor pool, game room, activities and jacuzzi. You can camp oceanside or soundside... but from my experience, the oceanside has better bath houses and everything else is on this side as well. To check out go to camphatteras.com
The second campground is the KOA campground which is next door to the above. The rates are $47.00 per site w/o electricity and $54.00 per site w/electricity. 6 people per site and two tents can share a site. Extra people are about the same as above, but I didn't write down so I can't be exact. BUT... you can stop in at the office and pick up a OBX getaway card which will give you and extra 15% off your stay. If we want a covered picnic area it is an additional $5 per night. I have not camped here, but the internet presents a nice picture. Didn't write down the website address for this but if you google KOA in Rodanthe/Hatteras it should come up.
Both campgrounds have nice playgrounds.
So how about it?
