ahhh, the frozen north...

We made it to Minnesota, and then onto Iowa, but it was all not without incident.... Our original flight was supposed to take off on Monday morning at 11 am from Seattle. However, there was something broken on the plane, and although they just needed a part from Boeing, which is located less than 30 min from the airport, the company could not deliver it... so we had to wait for another part to fly in from MN before they could fix the plane. Needless to say, we weren't going to make our connecting flight. However, Marcus had already connected with a really nice lady that works for Northwest Airlines, and she'd hooked us up onto a different flight that took off from Seattle at 3:15 pm. We got to fly first class all the way to Rochester!! It was great!!

Unfortunately, our bags didn't join us in Minnesota until the following afternoon (Tuesday)...but it all worked out. We finally got all of our bags, and drove down to Iowa to visit our superfun friends, Andy & Heather. We enjoyed frozen custard shake thingys from Culver's and got to catch up on everything!

I had a pretty rough night last night... much more vomiting than normal, and it was very painful too. We are really looking forward to getting to Mayo tomorrow, and hoping that they can find something, fix it right away, and send me happily on my way, eating and digesting. :)

Thank you for your continued prayers. We're asking for prayers specifically for the Mayo team of docs that will be working on me. For clarity, wisdom and discernment for the docs and for us too!

Much love,
brelin
