Well, I have been slowly packing for our return to Minnesota on Tuesday. It is amazingly hard to pack for a week long trip when the weather is being wonky. Apparently it was 70 in Minneapolis today, but later this week a 30% chance of snow is predicted. According to a fellow transplant family, it snowed last week too. Ummm, hello? We're from Florida- its hot as Hades here for 9 months of the year, maybe we get a few weeks of "nice" weather, and bam!- its freezing. But 70 one day and snowing 3 days later is something I have no idea how to prepare for. Not to mention the fact that you have to pay to check all of your bags now. This is one of those moments where I just have to laugh at my frustrations.
On the upside, we are really excited to be heading back for this milestone checkup. We can't wait to see our beloved doctors and nurses again, not to mention the staff and friends at the RMH. And especially, our friend Rylie who will be having her 6 month checkup too! Yay Rylie!
Our schedule started out as 3 days of doctoring, but we were notified last week that Gracie doesn't need an MRI, so therefore she will not be sedated and will not have a lumbar puncture. Its surprising, but we're glad that she won't need to go through that on this particular trip. However, that means that Gracie's appointments are being consolidated into just one day. We booked our trip for 6 days. Ummm. Oops. :) I guess we're just going to have a little mini-vacation in Minneapolis then. Again, a laughable situation, but we'll roll with the punches.
Lots of love and long distance snuggles to Uncle Mack who said goodbye to his gall bladder on Friday. Hope you're feeling better, Mackie. Gracie loves you and told me to tell you to get some rest and drink plenty of fluids. :)

Hi guy! We back in sunny (for now) Minneapolis. We got a room at the RMH today; we stayed at the Days Inn last night until a room popped open here. We saw two families with children with Hurlers tonight. We're thinking about you as you travel, and we're really looking forward to hanging out once you are here! Rylie wants to show Gracie all about walking and playing, and Gracie needs to show Rylie how to drink fluids. :)
Uncle Mac, you take care!
Yay! Glad you got into RMH so quickly and we hope the same happens for us. :) Cannot wait to see you all!
wishing everyone a good and safe trip...give Gracie a hug from me!
Do wish I would have seem your families while their in MNm but after surgery I was pretty wiped out, had just a few real close friends and mild PT + OT. Otherwise lots of sleep!
Hoping all went well and one of tehse tijmes we will catch each other!
