Ethan and Coral arrived via train yesterday morning. The train was about an hour late; they traveled for 12.5 hours overnight! When taking Amtrak, overnight is the only option going to and from Montana. We did it once back in 2000, not fun. The boys picked them up, Shaun loved it; trains are so exciting at 4! They then relaxed and visited at our house until I came home mid afternoon to take them to Seattle. It was nice to see Ethan again and meet Coral. I got them to their first hotel, The Talaris, which was paid for by Children's.
They then had a couple of appointments today at UW Hospital to check the heart and lungs, etc. The doc said that there may be an issue with the heart, but won't know for sure until after birth. Tomorrow they get to go to Children's to meet the docs, nurses, etc who will be caring for baby and get a tour.
Tonight they are in a 2nd hotel that is affiliated with UW, The Collegiana. They found out today that a room is opening up at the Ronald McDonald House tomorrow, so they get to move there tomorrow; yay! This will be cheaper and better because it is more home like with a common kitchen where they can cook or even volunteers sometime come in and cook for them.
