Restless In Seattle

Sophia and I got to Seattle yesterday afternoon. It strangely feels like home...it's weird. I told Jason after I got to the hospital today, that it's sad, all I had to do was figure out how to get on the I5 from my hotel and the rest I was able to do from memory. That's how you know you have been here too ofent. The weather in Seattle is lovely rain...better than the below zero temps that we were getting at home though! After getting settled into the hotel last night, I drove Sophia to the hospital so that she could see where we were going, she didn't want to leave when I told her that it was time to go! Silly girl. I carb loaded that girl last night since her surgery was scheduled for 11:15 and she had to stop eating at 4am. I let her sleep in and made sure that we were at the hospital by 10:30. By 11:50 they finally called us and let us know that the surgery was actually scheduled for 1; so that meant another hour until her surgery and another hour without eating. Well, that didn't happen either. We were stuck in the pre op room for over an hour and they didn't come and get her until 2:34. Let's just say at that point you had a grumpy Talia and Sophia. Sophia was just miserable, she was hungry, tired, and she is REALLY missing her daddy.We haven't done anything like this before. Either Jason takes a trip, I do for work, or all four of us go together. We have never been split up like this as a family and it's really hard, especially on the girls. So here I sit, in the familiar chairs at the suregery center. We are schueduled to stay overnight. I have a bag packed and lots of toys for Fia to play with tonight. Plus her favorite Nicki Minaj is on American Idol tonight...how and I going to keep an active four year old still? Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I know I have been spacey and crazy lately...I promise it'll get better :)

Happy New Year and A Sophia Update

Happy 2013 everyone! We had a great Christmas this year! I think we should take a trip at the beginning of December every year so that gift giving is a little more low key :) I'm really looking forward to 2013; 2012 has had a lot of ups and downs and I am ready to see what 2013 has in store for the Robinson clan! The last time I updated about Sophia, Dr. Wellman told us that she needed to go back down to Seattle and he had sent her labs and paperwork to Seattle to see when Dr. Jones thought she should come down. We got "the" phone call while we were down in Florida. (sorry...won't be updating my blog about the trip...if you are on my facebook page you can see photos there, but out of respect to a special friend I won't be putting anything on my blog) Anyway, I digress :) When we got the call from Seattle they said that Dr. Jones wants to see her 1/30/13; so little Miss Fia and I will be heading down to Seattle 1/29. I just looked back on my blog and it will be almost three years to the day the last time we were there. When I think about that, the logical Talia knows that is amazing and shows how amazing she has done. The illogical Talia at times pouts and still throws a fit, but logical Talia is starting to win over. I have booked our hotel, haven't bought our tickets yet...almost there, but still just taking my time :) I'll try to be a better blogger in 2013 and keep everyone updated on not just Sophia, but the rest of our family as well! Again, Happy 2013...hope everyone has a wonderful year!
