A surprise in the mail.....

Yesterday we got the packet from Shriner's in Cincinnati that we've been waiting for since Jan.! We finally now have a date scheduled for Meigan's next surgery, rhinoplasty with cartilage graft from her ear. Doesn't sound pretty, I know, but in layman's terms, the surgeon will be fixing the collapsed part of her nose and basically creating a new nostril and giving her a pretty new nose! It should make a world of a difference for her especially when she is sick since she has always breathed through one nostril.
The date, I almost forgot! She will be admitted on July 30th, (2 days after her 4th birthday), and the surgery is July 31st. They say to plan on a 3-4 day stay. The nice thing about Cincinnati is we will not be far from our travel group friends who live on the Ky. side and my relatives and Scott's family live about 2 hrs. away.
We started our summer off with Logan's surgery and looks like we'll be ending it with Meigan's. This should be it for awhile!
The down side to this though, is for are wonderful friends in Fl.. Looks like we will not be making a trip down there this summer. We're getting hit hard in the gas
tank as are all of us. With an unexpected trip in July now, we'll only be able to travel north instead of south. I was so hoping we could squeeze in a trip back down. I miss you guys!

That is indeed great news you received in the mail. Sorry you won't be able to visit your friends in FL; but, your northern friends and family are glad you are coming this way. Love the new family picture. Take care.
