We love being in the Back Bay: walking Newbury and Boyleston Streets, watching ducks in the Public Garden and cruising into the Commons, grabbing supplies at Trader Joe's and Walgreens (constantly- what would we do without them?).
This is Bo getting ready for a walk on our dining room table at home. Home! Boston is glamorous in its own preppy way, but home is so much nestier.
Thank you for visiting us, Dawn! And bringing gifts and treats. It is such a blessing and a relief to see a familiar face under these stressful times. Especially a familiar face we haven't seen in 10 years!!
And we even got to see new faces: The O'Conners! We love them already, and are so excited they are flying home the same day we are; Sam's bilis are in the 2's range already!! Hallelujah!
And, we had a great (but 2.5hr long) visit at childrens' for the short gut clinic. I showed Dr. Lo the article in Nature Genetics that identifies the gene that causes MID (published only this past August!); turns out his fellow works for the 1st author on that paper!! And Dr. Lo pulled some strings and got us a consult with one of the nephrologists TOMORROW. Wow. What a day.
Not exactly relaxing, or vacation, but rewards and blessings covering us from head to toe; can't complain.
