Hi! We arrived home from Seattle this past weekend. We are still waiting for all the test results from Ali's Hospital stay (they are trying to determine if she is a candidate for epilepsy surgery). There is a team of doctors that meet every week to discuss unique cases just like Alison's. It's kind of amazing really, all that they can accomplish. In fact, Alison's neurosurgeon's dad (also a neurosurgeoun) pioneered the very epilepsy surgery they are discussing! Anyway, I don't have any updates to share but I do have some photos from our trip! :-)
We left a little early and stopped in Portland before driving up to Seattle. My mom, brother, and sister-in-law all live there and I thought a little "fun" might be just the ticket for Ali. Just before we arrived in Portland, we stopped at Multnomah Falls to take in the view and stretch our legs a bit. I remember visiting these falls many times as a child and it was great to share this with Alison.
I didn't have my "real" camera with me...just a small point and shoot so my photos aren't as good as I would have liked. In fact, the one below added a very weird color cast over Ali and I...not sure why.
I can't even tell you how much I miss all of the GREEN!!! Montana does get green...a little anyway, but it only lasts a couple of months at most. Growing up in the Northwest has completely spoiled me!
I love this photo of Ali. In spite of all the pretty crappy stuff she's going through she can light up a room (or a forest :-) with her smile!
How CRAZY are these blue trees?? LOL! We stumbled upon these in downtown Seattle. Ali thought they were the coolest thing! I'm still trying to decide...
Scattered among the blue trees were these bronze and silver (ish) statues!
Here's another photo I took right off of the waterfront. Not pictured...the YUMMIEST ice cream! Mmmm!
And this photo was just for fun! I LOVE me a big ferris wheel! :-) This one wasn't open yet, but it was still pretty to look at!
Thanks for stopping by! I will be back to sharing stampy things soon! Hugs, Laurie
