7/16: We're in Houston!
Leo is doing pretty well today. Speech is improving, but not the walking. He's still eating A LOT. Today Leo went into the bathroom, closed the door, and decided to do his business on his own! What a grown-up! He later did allow Marina in to help finish the job. Lately he's started "petting" us and has been really playful and fun, with the occasional jab or left hook to my head. Maybe it's a sign that he really does feel better. His cheeks are bigger and puffier than ever and it'd be really cute if it weren't under these circumstances.
After a usual, stressful pre-flight morning, our Southwest flight left a bit late but landed early. Leo was AWESOME on the flight. No complains, not too many Plane Crackers thrown all over, just a great flight for everyone. He was tired and even took a little nap. In Houston, Thrifty Rent a Car wanted to charge us almost 100% in taxes and fees but I managed to talk them out of it. I'm not kidding: $280 for 2 weeks would have cost $530 after fees and taxes! I made them an offer they couldn't refuse, but the fees and taxes still wound-up being somewhere around 40%!
It's hot as hell down here! We got to our Crossland Extended Stay place and it may be an entire notch, but not 2, above a hostel (maybe). It's a tiny room with a single full-size bed for the three of us, but it'll do. So it's a similar situation as at home -- the three of us on the same bed -- except that Marina and I will probably wind-up falling off at some point during the stay. Obviously we have internet access, but if you really want to hear great Leo's progress will be or how hot it is down here, our direct line is: 281-759-2000, press 1, then enter 7654.
We got a fortune cookie today at Midway Airport that said something to the effect of our wishes being granted this month or meeting our goals this month. We pray every day for the same, singular goal of Leo being cured. That's all we want.
Appointment tomorrow at 11:30 at the Burzynski clinic. Stay tuned...
