With Uncle Jeff at Batelle in Columbus |
At the end of October, all four of us once again piled into the car for a long road trip to Ohio to see Nathanael's doctor for his TWO YEAR post-transplant check-up. (Can you believe that November 23 was the two-year anniversary?) We took advantage of the fact that we would already be pretty far north to make visits to my family, including a trip to Wisconsin, where my parents and several of my cousins live.
In no particular order, here are some photo-highlights of our trip. I LOVED seeing my boys meet and play with their cousins and other relatives. It was such a great reminder of how blessed we are with a loving family, and boys healthy enough to be out and around everyone.
I should mention that we had a GREAT check-up with Nathanael's doctor, and even got to see a few of the nurses who worked with him during our inpatient stay. We LOVE our medical team! All news was good, and apart from orders to follow-up with our endocrinologists in Dallas, we were dismissed until sometime next year!
