Heading Home

Julie and Dad are currently over at one of the many shiny Mayo buildings getting blood drawn for two more tests that will help the endocrinologist decide how to taper Julie off of prednisone. She has an appointment at 1:00 with a different gastro guy and an appointment at 2:00 and then we should be free to head home. Our plan is to go half way today and the rest of the way tomorrow. We are VERY excited to be in our own beds and to see our kitties! I'm sure Chaucer will have nothing to do with us for about 2 days and then everything will be fine. They told Julie that she shouldn't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for the next 4 weeks. Which means she probably shouldn't pick up Chaucer, Ellie or Toby as all of our cats are in the slightly to very obese range!!

  1. Hurray! Let me know if Des Moines is your half way point. I'd be happy to give you some hotel suggestions. So happy to hear you're heading home. How delightful is that?!

  3. Wow! That mayo clinic isn't messing around. So glad that Julie is feeling better and now it's time for the going home times. Call me from the road if you get bored! Big love through the wires for both of you.

  5. So happy to read this update. Travel safe, and enjoy getting home -- the cats will forgive pretty easily.
