Early Morning Whistle Stop











We had a great time at Carter's Diego party #2. He actually had a cake this time! Then we woke up early to get Mason and Mimi to the Norman Train Depot on time. They're riding to Dallas on the Amtrak Heartland Flyer. Did anyone notice the irony (heart surgery/Heartland flyer)? Anyway, Mason was playing it cool on the way there. He acted like I was totally nuts for getting so excited about the train. But when the train came barreling down the track, whistle blaring, he just about jumped out of his skin. His eyes were as big as saucers - he was so excited he could hardly stand it. He called from the train about 30 minutes later to tell me that he had seen a "yucky river and some cows." Maybe the scenery will improve in Texas :-) Still no word from the ICU about availability. I'm going to call them right now.

Okay - I just called, and the nurse to to go ahead and go to Dallas. The ICU situation is still "tight," but Dr. Leonard wants to do Mason's pre-op tomorrow morning as planned.
