We managed to finagle our train tickets to get moved up two days. We thought it would be tough to do the train trip from here to Paris, then plane from Paris to Chicago and plane from Chicago to Mpls all in one day…

So we’re checking out of the good ole Hotel Novotel tomorrow morning and taking the train back to Paris. We got a hotel right by the airport, not in the city, so we’ll likely be held up in the hotel for the next few days. The Novotel has been good to us. I wish we would have had a kitchenette (I miss cooking my own food) and a softer bed would have been good. However, the restaurant at the hotel has really great food. Since Sarah’s been out of the hospital, it’s been our primary eating spot since she can’t get too far walking as of yet.

We’re both overwhelmingly excited to see our boys. After the first week, we never thought we could do it. Especially when Levi was so sick; he puked for a straight week. By last Friday, when Sarah got out of the hospital, and there was only a week left, we felt like we could manage. They have been well taken care of and have had a lot of fun now that everyone is healthy.

We’ll be home this Friday night, then Sarah will soon began some physical therapy at the Courage Center pool and began to get moving more and more. She’s been doing better the last two days with less pain, and a little more mobility, so we’re encouraged.
