A Most Awesome Day!!


Tom, Jaime, Sheryl, Jared, Beth, Katie, and Andy


The Trost family from Ohio is on a road trip to see family in Florida, and on their way south they stopped for a visit with us in NC. What a great time we had! Their son Jaime was born one week after Katie in Cinncinati and he also had a right-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. We have followed their journey over this last year and were so excited to finally get to meet them in person.

Two Miracles on Wheels!
We had quite an eventful and fun-filled day. First we met for a while in the hotel and let the kids play around a little. Then, we went and spent a couple of hours at Marbles Kids Museum. We all had fun, but I think Jared LOVED it! When they finally kicked us out :) we then piled into the Trost's van and drove over to Parker's House. I had told Sheryl how much this house had meant to us--and so many more families--while we were at Duke with Katie. We were so proud to be able to show them this wonderful place. We even introduced them to Mr. Paul!! The evening was capped off with a trip to Red Robin for dinner. All of the kids did really well throughout the day, especially since there was very little napping and lots of activity. I only wish that Michael had been able to be there with us(he was not feeling well and I didn't want to risk "sharing" anything with the Trosts on their road trip). We really hope to be able to get together again with this wonderful family!!!
