Monday morning we took T to the Natural History Museum because we got in for free. One of the perks of being a patient at the hospital. We could have used more time, but we were just glad we got to go. We got to the hospital and were told that the machine that they needed for him embolization was broken. They were so kind to us. We went and had lunch (on the hospital's tab) and left to check into our hotel (on the hospital's tab)
Our hotel was right down town on the river so we decided to take a walk along the path there and cross some of the bridges.
This is one of the cool things that we saw. The stadium of the Pirates. Very cool even if you aren't a baseball fan. There are three games while we are here. I teased T we would leave him in the hospital and go to one. I do love to watch live baseball.
This picture is for my dad! (even though he is a Yankee fan)We ended up swimming in the hotel pool until 11:30 that night. It was a perfect day to take our minds off of what we are really here for. Yesterday was a VERY long day. MRI at 9:30. We stayed in the cafeteria after lunch and played card games until it was time to check him in. They took him for his embolization about 4:30 and we didn't see him again until 9:45. We stayed in the PICU last night (all private rooms) I will try and update later on how he is doing today. All we were told is that it was going to be several hours.

Your dad thanks you for the picture of the ball park! I had no idea it ws that close to the river.
Good Luck T! That is awesome that you got to do some FUN things on the hospital's Tab!

I used to think I knew how brave and COOL T is.... Now I know I was clueless.
T YOU ARE THE MAN. YOU ROCK! We are praying for you and let me know if you need another blog post to cheer you up or if you get bored. I am sure there has to be more crazy PIX out there for you.
