At 4am the alarm went off. I was in bed with Maria Jose. Mom got up to give me my morning meds and water as feeding me at my normal time is not going to happen today. I began to lip smack early in the morning. This is a type of seizure. It is exactly as it is called lip smacking. I did that in my sleep off and on for a hour. Everyone was hustling and bustling in the room getting everything ready for the mini van coming to pick us up. We left the hotel on schedule at 5:15 am and arrived to airport by 6am. The airport was busy and mom and MJ got my mask out to help keep those nasty germs off of me.

Everyone at the airport was very nice to us. We were checked thru all security and sitting at gate by 6:45 am. We had enough time for me to begin breakfast and mom and MJ started feeding before we boarded the plane. Once on the plane I went straight to sleep. After I woke up I had a small seizure. So far I am doing well with my O2 and am not requiring additional oxygen… Let’s hope it stays this way. It is a beautiful day today. There is plenty of blue sky and pretty clouds out my airplane window. When I woke up mom passed me over to MJ for a visit, and of course she ends up stretching me and working me out!! Got in a 5 minute workout before landing! We are headed to see George and Grace! Can’t wait!

Day 2 Journey to Texas
We woke up at the hotel with the sun shining. We always take a day to rest from our journey from home to San Jose. Mom, unfortunately has all three of us lined up to see the dentist, Dr. Simon Mermelstein. You might remember the name, his wife Linda, was my first therapist when I was only 1 month old. Me and Dad were not to keen on the idea of having to go to the dentist on our relax day but then as they say Mom knows best!

I was first in the dentist chair, Simon said that I had really good hygiene and my teeth were looking good. When he stuck the sharp pointy object in my mouth to scrape off the plaque I was not the happiest of campers but I did rather well and only complained a little bit. I have no cavities! After my teeth were cleaned and sparkly white it was my mom’s turn. Dad was in the other room. My mom really does not care too much for the dentist and is always apprehensive. Thankfully I was there to hold her hand! 
After we finished up we headed back to the hotel to finish packing. Maria Jose showed up later that evening. After dinner it was off to bed early as our day will start tomorrow at 4am. I am so excited about our journey.
