Reunited!

Whirlwind weekend-- Audrey's dilation on Friday showed she had re-constricted from a 15 millimeter opening in her throat back down to an 8 in ten days, so Dr Manfredi injected steroids and dilated her back to a twelve. He did not try to take her all the way to 15 because during the dilation he also removed the old sutures from her August surgery, in hopes that that might also reduce the swelling (since the body's natural process of expelling something stuck in the tissue is to swell while working to "push" it out), and didn't want to risk a perforation by going too wide without the sutures to hold the newly healed section together. Her recovery was again perfect and we were out very quickly. Then Saturday was a huge day, I picked up the rental van and got my feet wet driving in Boston, headed back to my host's home and got all our stuff and took it down to Westport where the family and I will be for the next four weeks, set things up cute for the kids and unpacked a little then headed back to the city (1.5 hours) in the DARK and after little sleep the night before, and made it back to my host's house to get one part of a crib that had been left there, then to the airport where the fam and I reunited. We got to Westport around 1:30 am and have been resting most of today, with many fun plans for the week ahead. (And there was much rejoicing.) If this post sounds drier than the news deserves, it's only because I'z jess too tiiiiiiired to move.
