Nov 28, New office space

Thank goodness a heart didn't come today. Lindsey would have had to walk herself to the operating room.  Busy day for everyone.

Stacy took Gage to his doctor's appointment.  It was a 'regular' doctor's appointment, not a heart doctor.  Nothing major to report, they want to do a blood draw to test one of his levels. He still has an occasional nagging cough but is feeling and acting a lot better. Really the only time he coughed was in Lindsey's room.  Then we get these nasty dirty looks from the nurses, and I don't blame them. I guess Stacy and Gage waited 3 hours before they saw him.  I don't understand how an office can do that to their patients. If I have a client waiting for me and it's going to be THREE HOURS I might let them know. Just a thought. Stacy was ticked and still is!

I went to my new office space today. Shawn Hansen has arranged for me to have office space at his attorney's office on the other side of Stanford. Very nice of him and the firm to allow me somewhere I can set up shop, spread my work out, and really focus on my accounting work.  I continue to be humbled by the acts of kindness we have received.  Thanks Shawn.

I worked until about 4:30 then headed back to the hospital and met up with all the kids. Sierra had/has a mountain of homework.  Stacy has spent the entire afternoon with her helping with various assignments. So, because of all this Lindsey spent most of the day by herself.  She was surprisingly in a good mood thanks to good nurses that keep her going while we are away.

Rained hard today. I love the rain. When I see rain, I see green grass, which grows, which feed cattle, which helps with cattle prices, so it's all good.

Today Juan from the RMH wanted to visit with one of us, so Stacy headed down. At first she thought we had done something wrong but he wanted to ask for our assistance. He told her that this Friday is a huge fund raiser event in San Jose for the RMH Charities. He was wanting a family to share their story and how the RMH has helped. So guess what.  If we understand correctly, this Friday at 2:00 I am going to the HP Pavilion in San Jose to give a 5-8 minute talk about our family. Now the HP Pavilion is where the Sharks play hockey and where we went to watch Van Halen and AC/DC (those concerts were so awesome... rock on!) Anyway, it's big!  I'm guessing there must be a smaller convention center not thee Pavilion but we will find out more tomorrow.  Whatever and whereever it is, there will be a lot of big shots with big bucks there, so Bingham, don't screw it up. Tomorrow I will be working on my little presentation in the quiet of my fancy new office.

At the same time, Friday at 2:00, Stacy will be here with Lindsey as they venture to the Stanford Atrium for the first time in months to watch the Enchanted Toyshop Ballet.  We talked whether I should be here, but we feel this is an opportunity to help the Ronald McDonald House.  They help us in so many ways, this is our chance to help give back.  Lindsey was a bit disappointed, but there will be plenty of times to walk down there. 

By the way, Doctor's rounds with Lindsey these days are pretty short. She is doing fantastic and just waiting for that perfect 'O' negative heart.  She has gained over 15 lbs since those horrible pictures in early July. Still no appetite, but I can hear the feeding tube pump working away behind me.
