Houston Cowboys

We saw some Texans putting their cowboy skills to work during cleanup from hurricane Ike – lassoing trees.

Debby talked to the on-call doctor today about Jason’s blood test results and got great news - everything came back fine – he doesn’t have any infection. So it looks like his fevers are probably not due to an infection. His creatinine level was 1.4 which is finally within normal levels. He can now go back on naproxen so that should help his fevers.

We went for a drive this afternoon to get out of the house - and so Carol could say she went someplace besides Target and grocery stores (that’s pretty much our world besides the hospital). We checked out downtown Houston and the J. P. Morgan Chase tower – the building that had many of its windows blown out from pebbles that came from the building across the street. A guy we talked to said the inside was a mess - he had been working inside it all week. Several streets were blocked off to traffic for the repair crews.

While downtown, we found a wonderful cozy restaurant for dinner – Cava Bistro. It resembled a wine cellar with the domed ceiling and walls lined with wines - very friendly people, good service, and great food.
