5 Days..., More Snow

With 10.5 inches of new snow this morning, I am reminded that 'Spring' is just mocking us.  However, for the longevity of ski season, this is great for the local mountains.  Bad for me, as I did not get to go skiing today due to work - again, Spring mocking me!!

With 5 days remaining, we have our game faces on and focused on the task at hand.  We, especially Sarah, need to stay healthy and come in Friday with clean bill of health on pre-op day.  Pre-op nurse Megan called yesterday to do a sort of pre-op pre-call - just to fill us in on what will happen and that for Sarah they will try to make it a positive experience showing he all the cool things she will get to do.  Once out of ICU, bring your own DVDs, each bed has its own DVD/TV, plus room service with a full menu, and plenty of other activities (other than surgery...).

We had a great last weekend with a good day of skiing on Saturday and finished painting (the stripes!) Sarah and Katie's room on Sunday.

We are ready for a full day of poking/prodding, tests, meetings, signing consent forms and the like on Friday, but will be staying the night at our new favorite hotel, Spring Hill Suites just outside of Boston, on Thursday night to make the Friday commute into Boston a little less stressful.  That way Sarah can get a good swim in the hotel pool too!  We will update after Friday's pre-op and see what Monday has in store!!!
