We've decided to all go out to Boston together! Trying to coordinate and plan the back and forth and daycare was getting very complicated (and expensive), so we decided to keep the fam all together. It might be hardest for Rose to be away from home for a month, but at least we will all be together. We're planning on driving there, leaving on July 12th and staying overnight somewhere half way there. Google maps says it will take about 13 hours driving. We'll arrive July 13th, the same day Lily will be flown there. The hospital hospitality program set us up with a one bedroom apartment for the first 3 weeks at a very reduced rate. If she is there longer than 3 weeks, we will need to find another place to stay, but the person I was talking to seemed confident that they could help us with that. Thankfully, Joe's supervisor and boss are very understanding and he has had no problems taking the time off. My coworkers stepped up and are willing to cover all my shifts for that month. We are so grateful for amazing coworkers!! Please continue to pray for us as we plan for the trip and for Lily's homecoming (ahh! can't believe we're finally starting to talk about it!).
The hospital has a strict visitor policy right now that only allows parents to visit. That means one of us will stay in the apartment with Rose and Cora, while the other visits Lily during the day. The apartment is close to public transportation that runs right by the hospital. It also looks like there is a Trader Joe's and plenty of restaurants nearby the apartment. Hopefully, we can find some things to do with the other two girls during the day. There's still a lot to figure out, but it feels very reassuring now that we have a plan! Thank you for your continued love and support! We really do have an amazing community of family, friends, coworkers, church members and others supporting us in so many ways.
