I am happy to report that Kelly has arrived safely in Cincinatti, and Evan and I are back home in Madison from the adventures of this weekend. She has her appointment tomorrow morning at the UW Hospital Clinic at 9:00 EDT. I will post more information about that as I get it, but we are both assuming that they will get right to it and put the shunt in tomorrow.
As it turns out, flights from Madison to Cincinatti are extremely expensive ( > $1,000 ) on short notice, but United does offer "medical" discounts on flights from O'Hare. So we took that option and decided to try to have a little fun while we were at it! Her flight left Sunday, but the weather looked iffy overnight so we decided that she, Evan and I would go down Saturday and spend some time at the Shedd Aquarium since Evan had such a good time at the aquarium while we were in Cincinatti.
It was a good time, and Evan was extremely patient as we had to wait in line 50 minutes to purchase our tickets. It would appear that wind and cold weather does not stop visitors from looking at fish! The aquarium was fun (Evan especially liked the sharks), and we got to experience a 4-D movie which I would highly reccomend if you get the chance. The 4th dimension is vibrating seats (the movie was about a train ride), air, water and smell. All in all it was a good time and we were all grateful to spend a little focused time together before her trip.
On a personal note, I would like to send out my heartfelt appreciation to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for "Little Dude." This has been an emotional roller coaster for both of us, but the support we have received from our family and friends has been a wonderful source of gratitude and strength for both of us.
