Today is four weeks from when we got the call to come to Atlanta....not four weeks to date but four weeks to day. What a journey we have had since that call and we continue on our journey. Four weeks ago we were in the ATL area and almost to the hospital; racing to get there by 4pm a time which turned out not to be his surgery after all.
We had an outing today to the PDK airport. It is a small airport for private planes and was a perfect spot for airplanes and helicopter sightings. We were going to eat lunch at the cafe there as we were told that it has great food but it was closed when we went. The airport had a cute playarea for the kids and was home to the Georgia Angel Flight offices. This is the airport we would have landed at had our angel flight worked from charleston. I took pictures of Ian there. I've posted one of him at the playground area. Note the gloves on hands are not only because it is cold but because they are a germ barrier layer. And of course, we used germ-x after we were done.
We drove around to see buildings and look for a train. From our RMH suite we can hear them but not see them. For Ian, this is torture as he is a train enthusiast. We can find the tracks on our way to the hospital but haven't seen a train on them in quite some time.
Livia is really growing. She likes to sit under the baby einstein canopy/gym that was at one time Ian's. She loves to listen to the music and flashing lights. Ian is a great big brother and helps me tell her about the things she can see.
RMH had a charity meeting today so the parking lot was packed. We had leftover lunch stuff from that meeting for our own lunch today. Tonight dinner is being served by the Braves employees and we are planning to go to the family kitchen to be a part of that. We sit a our "own" table though.
Tomorrow is lab day and clinic. It will be four weeks from transplant date so I'm sure there will be lots to talk about in the next post.

Yay, a picture! It's great to see you. I'm glad you are getting out and about and can't believe that Ian is allowed to. That is wonderful!
What a wonderful day you must have had. As you mentioned your journey, it's like, you have been on so many. Now are you ready to write your book! Sounds like you are doing a great job keeping the family running and just doing family things--so kudos!
Sounds like things are going well. Yea!
Sounds like you all are trying to adjust. Loved the picture!! Noah wrote Ian a "note" to come over and play...then I think Macy tore it up...Anyway, the thought was there.
What a fun outing! I hope his health continues to progress. We continue to pray for the not so baby anymore, Baby Ian.
