Things are finally falling into place around here as we get ready for tomorrows departure. Suitcases are packed, Mary Poppin style bags are busting at the seams (Thanks Leigh!), and all 4 kids are tucked into bed.
I can't believe that we are less than 48 hours out. I can't wait for Wed. night to get here. Surgery will be complete, she'll be snuggled up in her bed in the PICU, and we'll have finally turned that corner. She will have become a ZIPPER HEAD! In the chiari world, that's a good thing. I just hope that recovery goes smooth and easily.
On a different note, Nana and Papa have been spoiling R and K BIG time! Sunday night they surprised the kids with a night out at the PAC to see Mama Mia. Riley is a HUGE ABBA fan! They had a great time.
Today, Nana took them the Monkey Joe's (and indoor play area) and then to Chucky Cheese. It's been a good distraction for Riley, and Keegan too!
So, on that note.... I am going to try and get my last good night sleep in before I will be calling a plastic hospital couch " bed".
Good night.

I'm sending Riley's card to the RMDH tomorrow (I think it will take about 7 days to get there). If I just address it to Riley, Ronald Mcdonald house etc Do you think it will get to her ok?
We will be thinking of you - Please let your mom know that the "girl with the triplets" can help out if needed.
