Hey there. We live in Denver and will be at Children's next Monday the 29th. If you are going to be admitted you will probably go to the 8th floor- if you are there we will stop by and say hi! Also on Saturday the 27th our "Mile High Tracheosto-mommies" group is meeting. I think we are going to go to the Children's Museum. We'd love to have you join us! Just PM me if you want more info.

Jen

PS: I don't know where you are coming from (forgot to look before I hit reply) but fall is absolutely beautiful here. I hope you get a chance to take a drive in the mountains. If you need someone to watch Gretchen so you can do this let us know!

OH I wish we would be here on the 27th but we are driving home on the 25th. BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!! We live out in the middle of Kansas. Last year we stayed a couple of days up in Estes Park before coming down to Denver for appt.'s. It was soo wonderful!! This year it just didn't work out though. Thank you soooo much for your offer!! I so wish we weren't leaving on the 25th!!!!

Oh gottcha- sorry I misinterpreted your post. I'm so glad you got to go to Estes last year. Have you been to the new hospital yet? If you have I am sure you know how beautiful it is. I hope you have a pleasant stay, the weather is unseasonably warm this week, so enjoy!
Jen

Like I said if you need anything please let us know. I can bring you guys a meal, drive you somewhere, etc. I work about 10 minutes from the hospital.
