Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, . Don't know how long the drive would be, versus airfare X2, but it is an option.

Flights are booked....we're on a plane Wednesday 9/28...going up for 4 days so my son will only miss one day of school.

And, thank you Tommi, I have a list of things to go over with her...those items being on top.

When I spoke to her yesterday she sounded exhausted, and also clearly had no memory of talking to me just the day before and relaying the story of how she ended up back in the hospital.

Her version is very different from my sister's...not surprisingly...and maintains that she was fine and it was everyone else who freaked out.

I just need to get up there and see with my own eyes, talk to the doctor face to face, and figure out what the heck is going on.

In the meantime, the rehab/sub acute discussion is over....the doctor has decided that they're just keeping her in the hospital until they know what's going on and the Avastin clears her system. She feels better about that, and honestly so do I. She clearly feels comfortable and cared for there....and that's probably the most important thing at this point.

I still want to kick my sister's ass though.
