You know it's going to be a good trip when it starts out with......










...A goiter! (eeewww) Interesting start to our trip…My dad has had this goiter on his neck and a week ago it swelled up. So instead of going to the doctor then, he decides to go yesterday just before it explodes! The nurse relieved it and packed it with packing and now he has a big bandage on his neck. He's gross. The worst part is, so that it doesn’t get infected, every morning for the next three days we have to remove the stuffing with sterile tweezers and repack with stuffing. And believe me it’s not as easy as a nurse makes it look. Jessica saw surgery going on on her kitchen floor at 6 am and decided it was a good time to take her tranquilizers....and it was. Saying goodbye to Phoenix could have gone alot worse but we kept it together.
Today has been the longest day ever- after a plane delay, rush to get to our connecting flight, 2 trains, speaking english to french people, speaking spanish to french people, crying everytime we see a blond child, and monitoring a goiter- we finally made it!
