Off to WI via KC

So we're headed to KC tonight.  My little sis is pregnant and has a 2 y/o daughter so she wasn't keen on flying or driving by herself so we're headed there tonight and driving to Wisconsin tomorrow.  A nice silver lining is that my sister has an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning so we'll be the first to find out the baby's sex! No real news from home.  Mom says dad is the same old dad and isn't showing any outward signs other than the impending surgery.  He's getting a specialized MRI sometime this week as the doctor is being cautious because, with no major symptoms, we have the "luxury of time" to figure out the best way to attack this thing.  2 hospitals in the state have this toy, so whoever can get him in first wins.  Other than that, my parents are just putting things in place at work, home and other places for what will undoubtedly be a very different next 3-6 months than what they expected.  Well thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers, it means a lot.
