Follow up in New York

We headed back to New York yesterday for James' follow up appointment with Dr. Wisoff, thanks to Loice who got us to our appointment safely despite the turn that I suggested that landed us in Queens.

We did not see Dr. Wisoff, but just the nurse who removed the stitches (at least what she could since some of them were placed later during the shunt revision - hopefully those dissolve). The stitches weren't so easy to remove and the nurse wasn't so gentle, so it didn't go really well. I told James I'd take him to McDonalds afterwards for being so brave. But, McDonalds was a few blocks away and it started to rain. Of course, our umbrella was in the suitcase that we had conveniently dropped at the Ronald McDonald House. So, lunch ended up at the nearest restaurant that we could find - called Cristina's.


James trying to make the same face as the guy on the totem pole

We stayed at the Ronald McDonald House. James thought he'd spend some time in the playroom, but the energy level didn't last long. He did meet "Angel" in the lobby and he really liked that - he LOVES dogs.



We even got to meet up again with the family that we ate with at the cookout a few weeks ago. www.caringbridge.org/visit/ber I wanted to post his website because I went to it and saw what this poor little guy has to go through and my heart broke. Please keep him in your prayers.

Today, we head home!!!!!
