Re: Aidan gets his band next week......

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy:

Wow, what a dedicated parent you are! Hats off to you Amy. It will

be a very nice little vacation for you in Phoenix. I was there a

couple wks ago for our moderator seminar at CT's home office in

Tempe. Of all days, the Phx airport was closed as we tried to fly

there, they were having a pretty bad rainstorm and it was quite

chilly!! Thankfully though, that quickly ended & temps were in the

70's. It was funny to see the residents dressed like it was 20

degrees out or something, but it was 70!! LOL They had turtlenecks on

even, here I'm sweating in my capris & a tshirt in the 70 deg temps &

they're acting like the arctic chill has just gone thru!!! lol

Anyhow, best of luck! Please keep us updated on things. Have a safe

flight!

Hi Amy,

That's great that you can do that! We took Hannah to the Phoenix

clinic when we went out to the mod conference a couple weeks ago.

We made a vacation out of it too. Everyone was extrememly nice! If

you have time while you're there, definitely check out the Phoenix

Zoo. We also went to the science museum while we were there and she

still had a good time even though it was a little old for her. They

had a dinosaur exhibit where she could get in a big sand pit and dig

for dinosaur bones. The weather was a great change from here too!

Good luck and have a safe and fun trip.

Enjoy Phoenix Amy. We were just there a couple of weeks ago and it

was fabulous!

And don't fret about the time lost. You cannot go back and change

anything, and it is not getting you anwhere by ffeeling guilty about

it. Perhaps your situation has helped another mom to make a decision

quicker and Aidan will still get good correction from his DOCband!

There is ALWAYS a positive to these situations, we just may have to

look a little harder to find it!

Good luck travelling!
