Welcome to West Palm Beach

Well we arrived in West Palm yesterday with not a lot of trouble.  Actually both of the girls were really good travelers and didn't give me any problems.  Luckily the tropical storm didn't do so much in West Palm so we had no delays on the way down.  Madi had her MRI this morning.  We were told to arrive at 6:00am.  Well a trauma arrived while we were there so we got pushed back and the MRI that was supposed to be done at 7:00 wasn't done until 10:30am.  Poor little girl.  Not so easy for a 2 year old to do especially when they haven't been allowed to eat or drink anything since the night before.  Luckily they had cartoons so she pulled through.  I can't believe how strong this little girl is.  When the nurse put in her IV, she just watched and didn't flinch or cry.  So calm through the whole thing.  I took her back the the MRI room to be with her while they put her under anesthesia.  She fussed a little while they hooked her up the the heart monitors.  I can only imagine how scary that is to a 2 year old.  I was able to stay until she was totally out.  So hard to see your little girl like that.  Almost 2 hours later I was able to go back to see her.  She was so dopey but she smile right away when she saw me.  So hard to hold back tears when I saw that face.  The nurses said she was so awesome.  That they had never seen a 2 year old so calm.  That's my girl!!  After she took down some liquids we were able to take her back to the condo and in about 1 hour she was back to her old self.  Running around, getting into everything.  It was a long day but we get a few days to relax before pre-op appts on Monday.  Hopefully we will get some sun and fun.  I will keep you all posted and thank you all so much for your prayers.  Keep them coming, we will need them!
