T+183 Minnesota, Here We Come!

Tomorrow we leave to go back to Minneapolis for Torie's 6-month check-up. Torie is so excited to go "onna urplane", and to go back to the Ronald McDonald House. She has been talking about it all week! She is also super-excited to see her bestest twin-triplet, Josiah. They didn't get much of a chance to hang out before, so hopefully they can spend more time together this coming week. Mom and I are super-excited to see Josiah too, and Rachael and Jim. They are traveling as I post this, so please send them safe-travel prayers and happy thoughts! Torie has gotten so much more active in just the last few days...I think having her blood pressure meds lowered has made a difference. Or maybe it was just time to get up and go. Whichever, we're so thankful to see her finally going!

One year ago today was Torie's appointment with Dr. Manchester, from Children's Hospital. He diagnosed Hurler's Disease while we were still in the waiting room. It's hard to believe how our lives have changed in the past year. We are blessed in so many ways, and we are grateful for our wonderful family and friends. We treasure every day with our cute furry little angel, and we celebrate small Vic-Tories!
