Illinois here we come...

Well, I got a call fro the CTCA and they have booked a flight for us on Monday out of Long Beach airport (which is 20 minutes away from our house) on Jet Blue departing at 10:30a and arriving in Chicago at 4:29p. They said there will be a limo at baggage claim to take us to our hotel...we have a room at the Radisson (which is 20 minutes from the hospital) for $40/night (very doable)...we are kind of excited even though we are not going for fun. We may be there 3-4 days for the consultation and we are praying for God to make clear for us the decision to receive treatment there or return and do more chemo here. The girl I spoke with in Illinois said that it's been in the 30's lately, but she said that's pretty nice! NICE! I live in So. Cal...30's is COLD!!! Anyway, we should be okay...Wednesday is Jeff's birthday, so it might be kind of nice to get away together over his birthday.

Thank you for your prayers about my hope...I do feel more hopeful with this consult. Please pray that this is God's healing tool. Also, that we get there safely and return home safely.

Thank you to all...we are grateful and truly blessed by all of you!!!!!

So glad to hear you are on your way. You'll make it with the weather. Stay in as much as possible and run to and from the car the rest of the time. We will be praying for you guys. Give Jeff a big B-day hug for us.

So you're coming to my neck of the woods! We will be praying for your trip, and if you do make a decision to return for treatment, maybe a little road trip from Omaha would be in order. I will pray that not only is this trip informative and hopeful, but also that a change of scenery provides a little fun for the two of you. Even if it is to the cold midwest!
