Thanks everyone!
Hubby's folks came by today, and he told them what's going on. His mom wanted to go to Albuquerque with us, but he told her no, that we'd handle whatever we need to handle ourselves. I know that must have been hard for her to hear, but she's fixing to undergo some major surgery and stuff herself, to put everything back together after her bout with colon cancer this spring. She starts the testing on the 17th, she said.
Al is hanging in there, as far as I can tell. He does what needs to be done, and watches out for his dad when they're out together. He's such a good kid, I thank our Heavenly Father for him so many times every day. He's promised that if he gets down, he'll talk to someone, either one or both of us, or one of his friends, our Bishop, or some other family member. So I think he's got everything on his end, under control.
Hubby did get off having to report for jury duty on Monday, because of this deal in Albuquerque, though, so he's happy about that...... :lol:
When we know more, I'll be reporting back, I promise!
