Travel Day

Hello.  We dropped off Kaylee at 9:00 this morning and headed to the airport.  This was Keenan's maiden voyage into the world of airline travel.  He was VERY excited about it, to say the least.  He did very well until we hit MAJOR turbulence getting into Memphis.  Guess we were very near a storm.  It was pretty intense, I have to admit, but he was very brave.  He was a little more timid to get onto the connecting flight to St. Louis, but again, he was a trooper. 

If you listen to praise and worship music this will make you smile, at the tail end of the turbulence we were experiencing, Keenan was listening to the IPod and singing these words, "my God is not dead, he's surely alive, and he's living on the inside, roaring like a lion...".  Wow, out of the mouth of little ones.  I smiled and shook my head. 

After we arrived in St. Louis we went to the hotel for a bit and then took a drive to see the famous arch.  He thought it was cool, but did not want to go up in it.  We then searched for some mexican food, per his request, and spent the rest of the evening in the hotel room. 

Tomorrow we will go to the hospital about noon to meet Dr. Park, have some xrays taken, do an initial PT evaluation, and that is it.  He does not know it yet, but his Mema is coming to meet us tomorrow afternoon, so I am sure we will all find something to do before going to dinner and having some time to relax in the hotel (Kee's favorite travel activity).

Thank you for praying for Keenan's anxiety.  So far, he seems to really be handling all of this like the trooper we know he is.  Please continue to pray that he does not focus too much on all that is yet to come.

Love from us...
