Hello from Philly

Hello everyone!
Kennedy and I are here in Philly safely. We had a good flight and Kennedy was just fabulous! When we landed she cheered and said, "YAY We made it!" and started clapping. Everyone around her laughed and asked me if she was doubting that we'd land! LOL My friend Jen picked us up at the airport and then we went and enjoyed a Philly Cheesesteak with her and my friend Joy and her kids. It was a lot of fun! :) Now we are just relaxing a bit before bed.

I have to say, if you ever come to Philly you have to stay at the Holiday Inn in the Historic District. They are so awesome here! As soon as we walked in they recognized us and fussed over Kennedy, asked about my mom and the other kids and Frank and told us how happy they were to see us. :) It's like coming home!

Kennedy's appointment tomorrow is at 9am. Please pray it goes well.

A couple more things to pray for: My mom called and said that Keeghan is really sick :(. I feel horrible being so far away from him. Please pray that he feels better quickly and that he doesn't get dehydrated. Pray for my mom too that she doesn't get sick as well.

Also please please please pray for Matthew Litchfield. He was doing SO much better and now he's taken a turn for the worse again. There is a new infection looming and they're talking about reinstating his DNR orders. Go visit him and let him know you're praying!!

Prayers for a great trip and for Matthew. Have a safe trip back as well.
Hope the little guy is feeling better tomorrow. That would be hard being away from him.

Glad you made it safe, but sorry Keeghan is sick now. Same stomach thing the rest of you got? Your mom is a saint for dealing with that. Last February when CJ was in the hospital my parents kept the girls for me for a day and then brought Kaitlyn home because she had thrown up. They kept Natalie another day, but they apparently didn't want to deal with a sick Kaitlyn :(. Then they had the nerve to tell me that they didn't think I should bring Kaitlyn back to the hospital with me. Ummm, I needed to be with my son. Anyways, at least you know he's in good hands with your mom and she's not going to feel burdened by this. Concentrate on Kennedy and her appointment today and you'll be home with your baby to give him lots of cuddles before you know it.
