Because of the incredibly long wait, we put the Statue off until Saturday and walked part of the Brooklyn Bridge on the way back to the RMH.
Johannah had a rough night with a grand mal seizure Friday afternoon and again Saturday morning at 4:30. Nonetheless, she decided she still wanted to head to the Statue of Liberty today, so we did. She was glad. By the time we got to Liberty Island, she was feeling a bit better and really enjoyed herself - though tired.
First, we took the ferry over to Liberty Island...but during the wait, we met a few "entertainers." The one with the clown hair sang a song about James.
We toured Liberty Island with some headphones that gave all the history of the island and the statue. It was VERY interesting.
Then, we toured Ellis Island, the historic immigrant island where all immigrants were brought years ago before they were allowed into America. There were some amazing stories there.
We headed back to the RMH afterwards as quickly as possible. The temperature at that time was 85 degrees and is supposed to get to 94. I think we'll stay inside the rest of the day.
Our family will begin travelling here tomorrow and Monday. Please pray for their safety and, of course, for James' surgery on Tuesday.
