Quick Update

Thank you for all the love and support I've received the past couple days with well wishes and safe travels for my family!  Lincoln and I made it to Alabama safely and in one piece!  The first flight my beloved toddler was an angel.  He even fell asleep for awhile which reminded me of the old days when we traveled a couple times a month.  Our layover in Dallas was uneventful, we had time for lunch and Lincoln enjoyed some ice-cream.  The second flight however, reminded me why I quit flying as much from 2-3, ha ha, I secretly cannot wait for 4 years old!  My angel turned demon, spilling a drink and crying for ten minutes while we landed over having to wear his seat belt.  In those moments I want to cry myself but as most people know that does no good, so I smiled at those around me and assured him we were almost there.  I do want to take a moment to share that in three years of flying with my son more miles than I can count, I have been very lucky to have amazing people around me ... from spectrum's of parents who understand, grandparents who entertain, strangers who help break down a stroller or pick up your baggage ... let's give a shout out to all those who have been in our shoes and may we always remember if we travel without our kids to be just as kind and understanding as we appreciate people being to us!  After the airport our evening was uneventful with finding our apartment and grocery shopping at Walmart.  We are hunkered in for the evening and look forward to exploring more tomorrow!  I am happy to report I passed a mall and a Starbucks five minutes away from where we are staying!  I plan to post weekly updates of Lincoln's progress for anyone interested.  I have mixed emotions headed into Monday as we will be spending three weeks without daddy/my husband, in a new place, but I am so grateful to be able to experience the Children's of Alabama therapy with my son.  I believe in progressive medicine and I believe in him.
