A LONG morning in Boston
Today we attempted "double duty" in Boston. Whew...
Jada had to be at MEEI at 6:00am, which of course meant we had to leave the house before 5:00am to get there. I went and brought Jada (who was starving by around 6:30am but couldn't have anything in her stomach) while Jorge brought Joli to meet me there a little later. Jada is still tumor free, and she was quite amazing at the hospital. She didn't even cry when they put the drops in! We were the only eyeball people there and there were about a dozen "ear tubes" kids there. It was a zoo!

Joli and Jorge then met Jada and me at the ocularists. By this time, I was already exhausted and Jada was groggy and upset from anesthesia. Hmm... so I have no idea why I thought it would be a great idea for Jorge to just go to work... I think it was my lack-of-sleep brain taking over.

Anyhoooo, Joli was pretty impressive as she wanted to remove her eye all by herself. But we ran into mega problems when it was time to put that little guy back in! She screamed and cried for a few minutes (although loudly), and finally we just had to force it back in -- not a fun nor exciting time. In the end, Joli was fine and everything was fine.

Glad to hear all went well... I am confused, though, why Jada is getting checks on her eyes. Is it a heredity deal? Either way, PTL she is tumor free!
