I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! We spent the morning at the hospital to do one final blood check before Emma was set to travel to GA. Her counts came back rather low, so I was worried they'd say she couldn't go, but the doc OK'd it! Then we had dinner at my best friend's house. Emma had been kind of lethargic that morning, but perked up among friends and family. She ate a heck of a lot (which is a relief because she'd only had a celery stick and a piece of bacon all day!). Well the good news is Cal and Emma made it to GA yesterday. The bad news is, it was like that movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The first flight went off without a hitch. Emma had woken at 2am with some throat pain and never went back to sleep. They had planned to wake up early, but not THAT early! He said she was fussy and tired in the airport, but loved the plane trip. She really got excited about seeing the clouds. Then they landed and went to look for their connecting flight and couldn't find it! No one could tell them where it was. So they went from one end of the Atlanta airport to the other for hours until they finally found a gate agent who had an accurate terminal number. But it was too late! The flight was about to leave and the next flight was five hours away. They had to have been so exhausted by then. So Cal's mom drove two hours to pick them up. I hope their day goes better tomorrow. I didn't realize it, but Emma will kind of be in the wedding. She's wearing a beautiful dress and walking down the aisle with her dad at some point during the ceremony. I hope they get good photos! I'm spending the weekend moving. Sherrie, Emma and I occupy a somewhat small two-bedroom apartment, which was fine before, but having two sick people in this small a space is stressing us out! There are meds EVERYWHERE I turn. So we're renting a house from a friend. If I don't unpack a single other thing, Emma's room will be set up when she gets home Sunday. I hope she'll be glad to finally have her own space to play and chill out. That's all for now. Our next appointment is Thursday and we'll update then if not before.
