First Update

We made it to Phoenix just fine, so there is that. Austin decided he wanted to come down even though I think Mom and I wanted him to stay back in Flagstaff to make things a bit easier. But he’ll go home Friday with friends and likely stay there until things are done.

We stopped at McDonald’s to eat lunch before we left Flagstaff and I got a call that Cameron’s procedure got moved up due to a cancellation. We were originally supposed to check-in at 9 AM, but now we get to do it at 5 AM. Yay! He’ll have his MRI around 7 and then off to surgery after that.

Because of the early start, I decided to see if we could check in at Ronald McDonald House early to buy us a little time. We were supposed to be able to have room at the House directly on PCH’s campus, but it was completely full and they didn’t expect any checkouts tonight, so we were directed to the house that was about two miles down the street. They had a few rooms open, but have several families checking in, so we felt best to use the first-come, first-serve policy, and they were nice enough to give us a space. It’s actually a nice little apartment that will work for everyone and has it’s own kitchen space and laundry machines, so it sounds like we got a good hook up here.

We’re off shortly to get my Mother who arrives at the airport in about an hour. Not sure we’ll have any more updates tonight, but I’ll be banging them out bright and early in the morning.
