One More day to GO!!!

Hello all,
As you may know we decided to take a break from clinic yesterday and spend the day on our own. We had a nice lunch at an English Pub, Flan O'Brien's. It was nice because the menu was in English and the waitress spoke English as well. We returned to the hospital today for another great day. Alex actually has had her first day when she gained weight! This is terrific news because sometimes success is considered the children eating enough to maintain their weight. Yippee. I stayed behind today at the hospital and was able to have a very long conversation with the program director Professor Dr. Marguerite Dunitz-Scheer. It was so wonderful to have that time with her. I intend on helping her in the states with her quest to educate the public about the misuse and problems that parents have with total tube dependency in most children that have the tubes put in. I have a lot to tell everyone once we get home. Something funny though, I went to pay the bill at the hospital and the women who handles the billing had gone home. They were so laid back about the whole thing. They just said we'll send you a bill to the US. I thought to myself if that were a US hospital they would be sending someone home with us to make sure that they got paid. So different. We plan on leaving early Sunday Morning from Graz and should be arriving at around 8:30pm in West Palm Beach, it will be good to be home. Hope all is well with your holiday planning. Much Love the DeYoungs
