Sherry just reminded me that I have not posted to let everyone know we made it home safe. The ENT visit ended with the above picture. This is what a 3 1/2 year old says after 36 hours of non-stop travel and doctor’s appointments 658 miles away from home. “Can we go now? I have […]

The primary reason for the CHOP orthopedics visit […]
