Tanya- doing great in her triathlon!
Keep in mind that all this enthusiasm is after a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and about 5 miles in to a 13 mile run.
Leron Finger- one of Emmie's favorite doctors, also doing great in his triathlon. Her surgeon also completed the race but somehow we missed taking his picture. We had hoped to have a silly picture of him too. Maybe next year.
Emmie enjoyed sitting in the shade in a folding chair. She's getting ready for all the great outdor events in New Orleans that involve folding chairs.
She doesn't even have to bring a cooler- just Liz. Emmie and Liz just bought a new summer weight
wrap and this was their first time to try it out- they loved it.
We've had a great week and a half at home! Emmie feels great and is gaining some weight. Today is her last day of IV antibiotics and we are all thrilled. She has now had her first taste of strawberry flavored pink antibiotics to spit out and she feels more like an average kid with it all over her shirt. The iv catheter will come out in a few days and we won't miss it. Her chest incision has now healed too- so no more packing either. We really won't miss that- it was everyone's least favorite part of the day.
This weekend she saw her first triathlon- not sure if she was impressed or not, but her moms definitely were. Our friend Tanya and all her training team did great and looked great doing it. Could you smile and skip that far into a triathlon? The weather was perfect to sit outside and cheer them on.
It's great to see you out and about with Emmie!
