So. We went to the Washington for several hours. We crossed at Sumas. There was no traffic, and the CBP officer was great, we told him we were just going down for a change of pace and to get dinner, and may get gas. Other then that, no shopping. He stamped our passports and wished our mother in law well. Sumas was a little too small for their liking. So we went to Lyndon, and had a early dinner at Steakhouse 9. The food was good. We crossed back in to BC at Sumas and then back to Chilliwack. It was a nice afternoon break. My mother in law is up and down. Some nights she can't sleep and they have to put the pressurized mask on her. I'm flying back to Toronto tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm a hourly paid worker and need to get back to work. My wife and her family are all on salary. My wife and her sisters could be out there for a few weeks, depending on things. All in all she is still in serious condition, but she has not slipped backwards drastically, so that's good. It's still too early to tell if she will make it through this. Anyways. That's the news so far. Thanks again for the well wishes.
