April 28th feels longer than 4 months ago when I last posted an update. I promised myself to not think about returning to Cincy for the sleep study we booked right after returning home and embrace summer to it's fullest. We did just that! Boys started 7th grade (middle school) on August 13th and the sleep study was August 16th. They missed Friday of the first week of school to drive to Cincy which didn't seem to be a problem. We drove home Sunday. 20 hours in the car in 3 days is no joke but we made the best memories with dear friends hosting us for the weekend. What a gift! The Bells continue to show us loving hospitality and what an example for our boys to see this over and over again. Thank you Chris and Misha for your friendship, endless support and prayers. Preston was really happy to have Reid come along too! It was wonderful getting to spend time Friday night at our friends country club to let the boys swim and eat pizza and catch up. Wish we could have had more time to be with them. Saturday we took the boys to the zoo and P was able to finally show Reid his favorite parts of the zoo. After having been there many times with just P, it was fun to all go together. I included the lovely picture taken by one of my pre-teens who couldn't help himself when he saw the male kangaroo features LOL 2 Graeters ice cream stops were the highlight of course! Preston and I were dropped off at the hospital Saturday evening for the sleep study and Tim was able to get Royals/Red's tickets to take Reid to the game for the evening. It worked out great. We were done Sunday morning and hit the road to come home. We still don't have the results. Once those come in, I will update with findings and next steps. We have determined our family has become pros at turning lemons into lemonade and that is what the quick weekend to Cincy became for us. :)
