So Happy for the Weekend

This pretty much sums up our week!  We were so busy, crazy busy, and are so looking forward to the weekend.  Kamryn had a fantastic first week of Jr High.  She is making friends and getting into a routine.  She will be thrilled when she can finally ditch the crutches.  It's 115+ all week long and all of the buildings are accessed through outside entrances.  So the kids end up walking from building to building between classes in the heat and most of the cafeteria is outdoors as well.  It's a great setup for the winter months here, but these last few months of summer are killer. 

Our new back to school schedule that begins with a 6am wake up is getting easier each day. We were sleeping in until 9 towards the end of the summer, so we are sure missing those extra hours of sleep.
We helped my parents move this week into their new house, that happens to be in our neighborhood.  Gigi monster can ride her bike to our house we are so close.

We also broke down and purchased a new mattress for our room this week.  We have never purchased a bed in 13 years of marriage.  My parents gave us their old king mattress when we got married, as a hand me down, and it had reached it's breaking point. The new mattress is BLISS!!!  We have slept so good the last few nights!
  I never did hear back from Boston, so I'm a little anxious.  Maybe Sunday morning I'll get another call?! There really is no rush, I'd rather they spend their time and be thorough with his medical records.  I did hear from Stanford again and we are just waiting to get denials/appeals from the insurance companies on all his transplant finances.  The biggest hurdle is and continues to be the air ambulance transport from Phoenix to LPCH when a heart becomes available.  I just have a good feeling that it will all work out, so I'm choosing not to stress it. 

Have a fabulous weekend.

I told my husband that if we ever had another hypoplastic left heart baby, that we would be moving back east to Boston (I have family that lives there.) I hate pre-auths and the bleh of paperwork. We need a new mattress. Ours is 8 years old, but if we buy a new mattress, I would like a King (we have a queen currently!)
