On the way to the next appointment, we found a park (if there can be a park in the middle of Manhattan) that had some tables to sit at. This was nice since we had packed our lunch and it sure beat the doorstep we used yesterday.
Then we met with Dr. Burstin, the pediatrician, who checked James over and cleared him for surgery.
When the appointments were finished, we headed to "Ground Zero." There isn't a lot to see - just a lot of construction.
But, we did tour St. Paul's Church across the street where many of the rescue
workers sought rest during those weeks after 9/11.
We also toured Trinity Church.
No....this is not a homeless person. It's just James - taking his daily nap at Trinity Church.
We went back to the Ronald McDonald House and, after a long nap, went to a barbeque hosted by the Yonkers Fire Department...complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, banana splits, and magic tricks by one of the firemen.
This is "Bear" and his family, from Richmond, Virginia. Bear is here for treatment of a neuroblastoma. They were such a joy to eat dinner with and we even learned that they are staying in the room next to us on the 11th floor. Bear says that if I want to come to his house, I just need to get on a plane and come to Richmond. What a sweetheart he is!!!
Bear and James

I leave in Miami, when you are here you more than welcome to come to my house also. I have my nephew who is turning 3 years old on July that has just diagnostic w/ optical nerve glioma in Peru. My sister will come w/the baby to Miami, and we would probably go to NYC. I am trying to set an appt with Dr. Wisoff when they arrived here.
God Bless Your son, I read his whole history, and I learned a lot about the Glioma. Anything that I can help, please.
Good Bless your family and James will do find in the surgery.
Miriam
