Nothing says distraction like a party.
We arrived in Rochester yesterday afternoon to find no room at the Ronald. For those of you who aren't up with protocol, you can't call ahead and reserve a room at the Ronald McDonald House. You have to physically stand before them when they give you the yes or no on room availability.
"Well?" I asked Kim as she opened the van door after being the designated one to check on possible room openings.
"We're number 13 on the waiting list. There's little hope of getting a room," she replied. "Let's head to the Hucke's."
Normally, if you don't get in at the RMH, they have a list of hotels for you to go through to see if they have any rooms available. Most hotels in the area work with the local houses, such as the Ronald, and will often offer a room at a discount to help out families staying in the the area.
It was Daniel's 13th birthday yesterday, so this would be perfect for a fun, relaxing evening before scans and tests today. A little hair straightening, dancing, cake, and cooking dinner over the fire made for a perfect evening in Minnesota. It also gave us a chance to get some quality photos of the birthday girl enjoying some delicious BBQ chops:
Happy Birthday Ya Teenager!
We drove into town this morning to get things underway - paused for a family prayer and began the morning with a CT and blood work. Ahhhh, back in the Mayo swing of things. We will hope to have information regarding the tests by early evening.

I agree with many points. But in some areas, I feel we need to be more aggressive. Just my opinion. Love ya. wedding gowns Louboutin Shoes Louboutin Shoes Accessories
