Wow , hard to believe it is time for Jordan's 6 month re- evaluation.... Yet here we are....
Jordan and I flew into Arizona Monday evening after a 40 minute delay at McCarren airport making our relaxing arrival much less so , having to find our way from the airport car rental in the dark on unfamiliar roadways. Luckily once we excited the freeway I was on very familiar turf, right alongside the Phoenix Children's Hospital, where Jordan and I spent a good deal of our Summer last year.
Our hotel is a mere 4 blocks away and very nice, although the electronic keys
Seem somewhat possessed and temperamental as to whether or not they will let us in our room ..LOL
By time we got checked in , went to eat dinner, came back ,showered and looked over the days homework it was close to 10 pm - remember Arizona is an hour ahead- I was not being a deliberately horrid mother trying to thoroughly exhaust my child before a busy day of testing .... It felt more like 5 hours ahead .. urgh!!
This morning we were at the hospital , ready to go by 8:30, I handed Jordan over to Dr. Blackham and he walked out to me about noon 'o 3!!
Understandably ravenous ,we headed to the hospital cafeteria where, to our delight, the food was just as good and just as reasonable as we remembered it to be!
After lunch we strolled back towards the Acute Rehab Ward to do a little catch up with old friends. It was good to see many of the staff who helped incredibly through Jordan's time here and it also sent surreal chills through me to stand outside Room 105 & know it now accomodated another child where Our Jordan once lay.
Back to the hotel , a little study for mid terms, then dinner at Jordan's new favorite Diner " Jerrys" right next door to the hotel.
Back to the room to wash off the days' efforts and fall into bed , and this Mom is ready for the same!!!
Tomorrow will, again, start at 8:30 and run pretty much through to 2:30-3 when we head back to the Airport and home.... I'm
Rather exhausted just thinking about it , so I shall sign off and give you all an update tomorrow evening
