We just wanted to put out an update to let everyone know that we made it to our new living space in Boston. The trip out here actually went better than I had expected with the girls being in the car for so long. We stopped in Rochester, NY Sunday night and Rose got her first hotel experience, as well as her first pool experience, so that was fun. We didn't even think of it until we were almost there, but due to Covid restrictions, they wouldn't allow guests from certain states. Thankfully Michigan wasn't on their list of blocked states. Phew!
Getting into Boston was about as bad as I expected. Pretty tense drive navigating the streets and tunnels to get to the apartment building. But we made it, got unloaded, and got the rental returned without getting into an accident or causing a 50 car pile-up so I'm calling it a major victory, haha.
Lily will be getting flown from GR to Boston, ETA around 4-5 this afternoon. She'll be flying out on a Lear 35 with AeroCare, an air ambulance company based out of Chicago. That's good because it will give us most of today to get somewhat settled and find our way to the grocery store and such.
The apartment the hospital set us up in is very nice. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with a decent amount of floor space for Rose to run around. I can't believe how insanely expensive living space is here. On the market, this apartment we're in goes for around $2,300/month. I looked up the companies website and found out a 3 bedroom on the 38th floor goes for $11,233 A MONTH...yes...A MONTH. Guess I won't even bother asking for that upgrade..haha!
We'll be taking the subway "the T" from here to the hospital, and there's a station right next to the apartment building so that's nice and convenient. Also, Boston has a city bike-sharing thing set up (BlueBikes), and there's a bike rental stand right by the apartment too. So if we're so inclined we can use that too.
A huge thank you to everyone for their support, gifts, and encouragement that got us this far. We can't tell you how much it means to our family, and what a huge blessing it has been/continues to be.
