The city of brotherly love

We all made it here to Philadelphia. Danny came straight to the hosital with Liam. I checked in to the hotel then rode the subway to the hospital. Liam was excited to eat. We got him all settled and the nurses got him all hooked up then we stayed with him for a little bit. We headed back to look for some food. We got back to the hotel and asked how much it was to park and the guy told us $42 a night. We didn't believe him but he was telling the truth. Danny's mom was getting in at 11:30 pm and she was going to pick up the rental car. Luckily she had called Dennis who had told her how much it was for parking. She cancelled the rental car. Today we got passes that we can use for the train, subway, and busses. I can't believe how much parking is. I feel bad for people who have to pay that much. We met liam's team of dr's who will over him. His dr and the others are very nice. They answered questions and made sure we knew what the plan was. My good friend made a darling picture of the girls to put in liam's crib. When the nurse saw the picture of the girls she said she had already seen them. Since I had mentioned children's hospital of Philadelphia (chop) it automatically sends the pr people of chop an alert that they are mentioned on someone's blog, if it is not private. It was funny. So hello to the pr person who may be looking at this. I think they do it for tracking purposes. They have to redo his picc line tomorrow. We are kind of just playing the waiting game until his big test and surgery next wed. His test will be on fri. The test will be fri at 1:00. It could take a couple hours. We may find out the results fri night and sat morn for sure. We are thankful to be here where everyone has worked with a baby with his condition. Everyone here has been very nice and helpful. Thanks for the love, support, and prayers. We are grateful to everyone. A special thanks to our good friend who got us our hotel at the marriott residence inn. We appreciate his kindness.
