On the Road Again

Being the travelers that we are, we're off again! This time we're heading to St. Paul, MN. Zeke has an appointment at Gillette Children's hospital on Tuesday morning for a gait analysis. Then on Wednesday morning, he'll be seen in at the Burnsville clinic by the orthopedic surgeon to determine if Zeke needs to have orthopedic surgery or not. We're leaving as soon as Steve gets off work this afternoon, hopefully around 4:30pm. Lots of people have asked us what the other kids are doing, so here you go: . Brittney is staying with her friend Corah. They go to the same school and are both in team gymnastics so their schedules are pretty much the same. . Riley is staying with the Lisa Minor family. They have boys around his age and go the same school so hopefully he'll fit in pretty well. . Taylor is staying with her best friend Emily, who lives down the street and is in Taylor's class at school. . Zeke is obviously going with us. . We thought about finding various spots for Anthony, but he's a bit more difficult to find a spot for. First of all, because he's the youngest and not in school, he needs to have someone to watch him for more time then any of the other kids. Also, he seems to have the most difficulty with separation from us. It's really hard to have him at Zeke's appointments because the two of them mess around when Zeke is supposed to be following the doctors' or nurses' instructions so that we can get the best evaluation possible for his muscles and his walking. But we would all pay for it if we left him home and he ended up having a meltdown. So he's going too.

I'm Back

I'm back and kicking Brittney off my blog for awhile! . The Penn trip went well - and I still intend to blog more about the trip back a bit later. . We had a phone call on the way back, around the Chicago area, that Steve's step-grandma in Indiana had passed away. She was married to his Dad's Dad, Chester, who died shortly after Steve Sr. And no, we're not going to the funeral. . After we made it home, I got sick. It started with a full day of a really extreme headache followed by a full day of being sick to my stomach. By that evening, I was throwing up. I didn't eat anything that day and even now the only things I've had are toast and soup. I felt much better by the next day but was still tired for the next few days. It probably didn't help that the kids only went to school on Tuesday, they got out at 12:30 on Wed and then they didn't have school at all on Thursday or Friday. And the temp was so far below zero that they couldn't even play outside! . Yesterday, I was really excited about getting out for a while. I had been with the 5kids in the van for 2 days to Penn, then 2 days back, then 3 days off from school. PRIDE training was scheduled all day so I got up and tried to drink a cup of coffee. I only sipped a bit and left the rest. Then I headed to the training. I was really suprised when I drove in the parking lot and found I had arrived before the other trainer. I looked around and saw that most of the area was still pretty dark. That's when I realized that I had shown up an hour early!

Going Home

We're on our way back home. We spent the night with Kerry and her family in the Chicago area last night and will hopefully be home by tonight. There was lots of blowing snow in Pennsylvania but Ohio was sunny with clear roads. Then we got to Indiana and it was really icy. We saw lots of cars in the ditch. Jane (our GPS) took us by the Notre Dame Stadium so Steve could take a few pictures. Then we continued on to Illinois. . Riley told me that Luke and Kerry must be rich because they had lots of doors in their house. We all got a good laugh from that one!
