Eight hours of standing by wasn't enough

Dad and I saw 5:45AM wake-up calls (well, so did Mom), and were able to get up to the clinic early enough to get on the stand-by list for the thrombophilia consult. . .but we were greeted with a "I'm going to be honest with you, chances aren't very good you'll get in." Our chances were hampered by a doctor being out sick, making an already packed schedule tighter. We decided to stick it out. Wireless internet and fresh fruit from the hotel makes it a bit easier.

We stayed until just after 3:15PM.  We have this appointment booked for Monday AM, but it would have been soooo nice if we could get in today.

We just pulled into the garage in Omaha from Rochester about 30 minutes ago.  Short turnaround time (driving back up again on Sunday afternoon), but we made it.   Everyone is exhausted.  

More on the blog will be posted likely on Friday when Dad gets to rock the baby for the first time.  I'm going to go find a jackhammer to get my dry contacts out of my eyes and go to bed myself.
