The family just got confirmation on Tuesday that Doreen has been accepted and will be moving to Timbercrest on Monday, December 8th! Karen, Linda, and Judy will all be there to assist with the transition. I'm sure they will provide a much more detailed report next week.
However, Karen has still not been able to get in touch with Carl to tell him of the news. She's continuing to try and call this morning.
Thanks for all you thoughts and prayers over the past 6 months. Doreen has made wonderful progress since her move to the Rehab Hospital and while she will be sad to leave the kind people there, she is very much looking forward to being in North Manchester.

Dear Carl Myers Travelers
by Jim Garber
After this week we will have been at the task of providing rides for Carl to Ft Wayne for 16 weeks. I hope you know how thankful Carl, Doreen, and the whole family are for your generous rides.
Now, in consultation with the family, we believe it is time change our strategy. It is our plan to move from a style which demands special trips to a plan which, hopefully, can take advantage of occasional journeys that can combine your needs to be in Fort Wayne when Carl can ride along.
Here’s what we are suggesting: When any of you find yourselves heading for Ft Wayne for shopping, medical visits, or whatever, we encourage you to invite Carl to be a passenger. He can be dropped off at the hospital (he no longer needs someone to stay with him), where he can visit with Doreen and then return with you to Timbercrest on your schedule.
I expect I will remind you each week to include Carl in your travel plans when it makes sense to you. You can simple call or email me or phone Carl to set up the trip. My observation is that we are traveling often enough to provide a fairly regular ride for Carl.
If this raises any questions or reactions , please let me know. In the meantime I will look forward to our continuing serving Carl and Doreen in this more informal way.
