Handed out report cards on Friday. Got the kids off to Grandma and Pops'. Picked up the Porcos and headed off for PSU, the first time I have been away since APRIL. This may not seem like a long time, but for a traveling girl, it seems huge. I didn't really talk about it much but it was a little hard to leave Owen for the first time since he started his treatments. But I knew both boys love to spend time with Grandma and Pop so that made it easier...the fun times tailgating helped too. I love time spent with Aimee and Dave...thanks Dave and Joe for trying to keep us warm and toasty...
Today Owen, Joey and I are heading down to CHOP. Owen is scheduled for an MRI of the neck and chest. The doctors want to be sure the MRI checks out clear, since there have been some concerns about his eating and breathing at times. Joey has the week off for Thanksgiving
(nice huh?) so he has agreed to come with me. I love spending time with him and hope I am not being selfish in dragging him along. He is a great source of entertainment and distraction for both Owen and I, but he has never been with us for an MRI. I am hoping it won't be too much for him.
I am starting to look forward to Thanksgiving. I am sure once this MRI is done and conferences are out of the way I will be excited for the holiday. Dinner at the McQuillans and then a trip with the kids up to Long Island for a couple days...looking forward to seeing my brother, his family and the Trubenbach clan...
