Well, Matt spent a lot of time today trying to coordinate our travel to NYC for our follow up appointment. It boiled down to saving time, or saving money. We opted to save money:) We will be taking advantage of a Corporate Angels flight which means we will be using donated seats on a corporate jet. We will drive down to Elmira (about 2 hours away) on Tuesday evening, spend the night at a hotel, and then leave from the Elmira airport at 7am Wednesday morning. The flight flies into NJ, about an hour from Manhattan, but they will provide a van into the city. We will go right to Sloan, wait for an appt with Dr. L, and then go back to NJ to catch the return flight at 5:15 pm back to Elmira and drive home. Talk about a whirlwind trip! But the way we look at it is, we will only pay for one night in a hotel and meals on Wednesday, not bad! Can you believe they told us we have to wear business casual on the jet? Ha! I'll follow anyone's rules for a free flight. I just have to come up with a business casual outfit for Brady---I guess Elmo sweatshirts don't count:)
Brady continues to feel great. He has only had 2 doses of motrin today! He is sleeping so well and eating cookies like a champ! Go Brady!
WOW, that is a whirlwind trip!!
