A Nice Friday

The blood draw went well today. Amanda is always a trooper with things like that. Her last blood draw will be Monday. We spent the late afternoon and early evening today visiting White March, just to get out of the hotel room for a while. However, I have to say that the managers and staff at the Days Inn on the Inner Harbor have bent over backward to make our stay comfortable. They are all tremendously nice people. We will definitely stay here each time we come to Hopkins or KKI.

Our plans have changed yet again. We called KKI today - they specialize in rehabilitation and therapy for kids with developmental and other disabilities. Their first appointment wasn't until January, but they called back this afternoon and had an inpatient discharge and can see Amanda on Thursday! So, we are staying in Baltimore until Thursday and will head home either Thursday afternoon or Friday.

It works out well because Katie had to give up her tickets to the Jonas Brothers in Raleigh when everything happened with Amanda. Katie was very understanding and didn't balk at all at giving away the tickets (we gave them to a friend from Wilmington). It just so happens that the Jonas Brothers will be in Baltimore on August 6th so Dan is taking Katie to that concert instead. It is a nice reward for a girl who is a wonderful big sister and is very patient with all the things that go on with her sister. I am very excited for her. She is a HUGE fan of the Jonas Brothers!

My parents have finally gotten hotel phobia so they are headed back to Wilmington tomorrow. They were wonderful to have stayed so long with us. They definitely earned parent of the year awards.

We will keep you posted on our happenings. Thanks for all the love, prayers and support. God Bless!
