Once mom and I arrived home from the hospital we both took the rest of the day to rest. My parents had changed our plane tickets from Monday to Wednesday. We all agreed it would be too much to take me straight from the hospital to Texas without having a chance to go home and at least recuperate a few days before my big journey. Saturday the unpacking began and Sunday the repacking started! Many of you know that I have quite a few items that I have to take along with me. Such as my 02 machine, aspirator, nebulizer, respiratory vibrator, hoses, syringes, medicines, and much more… My medical box that we take with us weighs almost 50lbs by itself! Needless to say when we travel we travel with alot!
Tuesday arrived here quickly. We were ready to begin the journey! We caught the 2pm ferry and headed to Krystal’s! We had a early flight Wednesday morning which had us leaving Krystal’s by 5:30am the following day. So far so good. I am feeling good and ready for this trip! We arrived to the airport with no problems and check in went smoothly!! American Airlines always lets us preboard first as we do take a little time! 🙂 The fligt is just over 3.5 hours. I am getting excited about seeing George, Gracie, and Scout! We wont have long to stay with George as we have to head to Austin the next day! We will be staying with Uncle Andy for a night before we check into our rental home. My grandma Marg, Holly, Mark, Ella, and Kathy all fly in on Friday! We really were cutting it short this year coming in so late and the benefit being this Saturday September 27 2014!
We arrived at George’s house late afternoon. Mom and Maria Jose wanted to go shopping so dad stayed with me and we took a nice nap together! Mom had to go and buy all my food to make since I eat three different types of grain, Aramanth, Quinoa and brown rice! She had much cooking to do for me! I am doing so much better on my new diet! That evening my parents, George, Janet and Katie went out to dinner at Mi Cocina, mom’s favorite mexican food restaurant and MJ, Grace and I stayed at home watching TV. I was in for bed early! It has been a long day!
Thankfully my Aunt Theresa is loaning us her car like she does every year! The mini van was waiting for us at George’s house. She is so kind to us!!! It is a huge help and gigantic savings for my parents not to have to rent a car while we are in Texas. Thanks again Auntie T!!! We are truly blessed with all the loving family and friends we have in our lives!!
