My parents were released from the hospital in Kansas City on Wednesday. Adam drove ‘em back to Des Moines, and Ponzi and I decided that it would be best for me to travel back to Iowa for a week to help them back onto their feet (so to speak). I’ve been driving them around town for the past couple of days, and I can say with a great amount of assurance that they’re well on the road to recovery.

Both Mom and Dad are are getting around fine, and Dad was just given clearance to drive on his own. Mom’s only dizzy when she’s laying down (which is apparently par for the course with concussions at this stage). We’ll see an ear doctor on Monday, and Dad’s got a few more meetings with neurologists over the next couple of weeks… but they’re both expected to make a full recovery.

Dad still hasn’t looked at the photos or videos that Adam took down in KC, but I’m sure he will on his own time. Mom is starting to send them out, but they both thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Mom even felt compelled to record something on their Flip (which survived the car accident without a scratch):

Now comes the tough part: dealing with auto and health insurance.
