April 20 - 22, 1972 MMC In and Out

Thursday, April 20, 1972 Zak home

A nice day in the p.m. It rained hard in a.m. The snow went a lot with the rain. I done up my work, got ready. Kim and I, we went down to Betty’s, at 9 o’clock we left to go get Zak. We stopped off at Dorothea’s. She went in with us. He was so pleased and happy to come home. He is weak from going through so much in the past three weeks. He is better too. Bill was down there with Carmen and Kim. He cut the tree up for them. Miss Mary Ann Weston called to see Betty. Astronauts landed on the moon.

Windy. I got up early this morning, got work done up. It was a nice day. Down to Betty’s. Esther there. She stayed with Carmen and Zak while we took Kim to the MAINE MEDICAL CENTER for OPEN HEART SURGERY on the 25^th. It was an awful cold and windy day. We stopped and got Dorothea. She went in with us. We did a few errands, had lunch at Deering Ice Cream Restaurant. Kimmy got there and was entered at 2 PM. We stayed with her for about an hour. She was very brave about all this. Very unusual for such a small child. When I got home Carmen came up to stay all night until Sunday after supper.
