Now that Cathy is home, TeamCathy is working on what's to follow.
Kyle is addressing steps necessary to have Cathy treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City where many TeamCathy family members are already living nearby and standing ready to help out. The plan is for Cathy, Kyle, and Carrigan to move in with her parents in suburban Rockland (less than an hour from Manhattan) as soon as possible. There will be a bit of child-proofing to do but they are looking forward to hosting them.
Kyle will be taking a leave of absence from his teaching job in Florida and will be looking for a job in the NY metropolitan area. He would ideally like to find a teaching job in Social Studies, middle school or high school. So if you know or hear of anything (or have any helpful connections), please let us know.
Cathy's mom will be staying in Florida until she, Cathy, Kyle and Carrigan can all travel north together. She writes "by that time, I expect I'll understand Carrigan even better than I do now. After all, it's been a long time since I've been with a 2 1/2 year old on a daily basis. She's a delight; I call her 'Sunshine'... and she really is."
In the meantime, Cathy's father is returning home for a follow-up appointment with his own (hip replacement) surgeon this week. He has already given Cathy one of his canes to use in helping her move about so the two of them will just need the straw hats to start working out a tap routine. Sooper-dooper!
My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are not walking this road alone Cathy! We are all with you.
ReplyDeletePraying the move is a smooth transition and that Kyle finds a job he loves in the NY area.
