Blooie - prayers for your trip and for a successful appointment for the little sweetheart. Take care!

Blooie, I will keep you both in my thoughts. I hope your able to do something fun too, even if just playing in the hotel pool.

What are they? You must have wanted them BAD!!!

Wisher set them for me. BCM, oliver eggers and easter eggers. Nothing too special, except for the fact of having them in December (so ready to lay come spring!) and meeting Wisher ofcourse.

Didn't know I was driving 68 miles there and back until I looked it up

It was great though. Thomas had a blast. So nice to meet BYCers

I'm leaving for Salt Lake Shriners' Hospital this morning. Gonna take Kendra for her appointment tomorrow. Jenny just started her job and although she could take the 2 days off, she'd rather save them up for their trip to Denver Spina Bifida Clinic in March. That one takes 5 days, so every PTO day she saves now is a day she can use then. Fortunately when first Katie and then Kendra were born, Jenny had the foresight to add me as a medical care partner so anytime the girls need to go in I can take them. Kinda nice that she trusts me so much with them. Kendra needs to be fitted for new AFOs (ankle/foot orthotics) but we're hoping that with the documentation I'm carrying from her physical therapists we can discuss the possibility of KAFOs, with a hinged knee brace in addition to the ankle/foot orthotics. Her feet turn in so badly, especially the left one, that sometimes when she's pulling herself up on furniture her left foot will face totally backwards - which tells us that the tibial torsion is getting worse, and we're concerned about the integrity of her knee.

And of course it's been raining all night, windy as all get-out, temps hovering just above freezing, and it's a 50 mile drive to the airport. <sigh> It's so much fun to wrestle with her medical care kit, her wheelchair, my purse and our carry-on the way it is......a flight delay only complicates things. So if you could spare some prayers and good thoughts for us, for her appointment, and our return trip on Tuesday, I'd sure be grateful.

And here I complain about driving twice a week 35-45 minutes for speech/occupational therapy

Good luck you two! We'll keep y'all in our thoughts and prayers.

You got it Blooie.

They'll get it Tomtom. They sure are cute.

Made it safe and sound. Kendra slept thru the flight, as usual! Now just waiting for the shuttle to the hotel.

That's what I'm planning on doing for my keeper layers. Hatch in Sept or so and be ready to lay in Feb or Mar

That is an excellent adventure! In Texas 70 miles isn't far at all

Yeah considering it takes 5 hrs just to get out of TX from the gulf.
Tomtom, so jealous of your chickies; those are my next ones.

@Blooie , chiqita said that there are two foam inserts. One is light weight and doesn't work. The other is stiffer and studier. Which kind was yours? My box using our insert is on it's way from TX to La as we speak!!!! Marraduna Basques. Woohoo
