Helping Hands
I had another follow up MRI. My two younger ones came with me because my oldest was at band camp. They brought some books to read and in the waiting room we put on PBS. They were really good. The guy doing my MRI let them "help". (He just let them see the computer.) My boy said, "Your brain looks weird." It's ok, I've seen it before and it does look weird. I'd say that yours looks pretty weird on a MRI scan, too. :) I won't know anything until next week at my appointment. I'll keep you posted.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones.... My dad kept singing this because, like the movie, my trip to Philly was filled with planes, trains and automobiles. (The song is a part of the movie in case you have never seen it.) The reason for my journey to Philly was to see this little guy.
Like I said in an earlier post, he is my nephew and he is very sick. He is at the children's hospital in Philly. He is on the list for a heart/lung transplant.
I was able to stay with my brother in the Ronald McDonald House. This was the last thing I would see at night before I fell asleep.
The bed I was in was right against this wall. Not my favorite cartoon, but very fun for kids. :)
One afternoon during my nephew's nap, my dad and I went out to find the Liberty Bell. We saw lots of tours including this one.
They were out of tickets to get into see Independence Hall. The space is so small they only give out a certain number. But we walked around it and I got a picture of it. They are doing work on it, so the top part was covered.
The Liberty Bell
On the way back to the car we saw Benjamin Franklin's grave.
And that was my little historical tour of Philly. Most of the time was spent in the hospital or at the Ronald McDonald House. Here is just a cute shot of my other nephew. He is Weston's big brother. He almost always goes with him to the hospital. They are best friends. He is a big helper with Weston.

Special Prayer Request
I went on a trip to Philly to see my nephew. He is a very special boy in my family. He was born with heart problems. He has had 3 open heart surgeries and been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. He is in the cardiac intensive care unit in Philly's children's hospital. He is now on the list awaiting a heart/lung transplant. You can keep up to date about his condition here. If you pray, if you can put Weston on a prayer list, please do. He needs all the help he can get. He is a fighter and we know God has a plan. I just wanted to send out this special request about our special boy that we love so much.
