Now the fun stuff...

Okay, so maybe this post should have preceded the last one... But, hey...turns out we don't have free wifi in the hotel, but we do in the hospital! See...already blessings from our inpatient stay! :)

Let's talk Cleveland.... We arrived just before midnight and by the time we picked up our awesome rental car (brand new Jeep Cherokee...black...and fantastic!) it was almost 1:00. We had heard from the pilot that there was a "light snow" in Cleveland...I guess that all depends on who is judging what is "light" and what is nearly a blizzard... :). I would obviously vote more on the blizzardy side. Here is a picture from the car on our way to the hotel last night...you decide. I was really trying to capture the gigantic icicles hanging from the houses, but the falling snow was catching the flash and stealing all the thunder... Seriously, I will get a shot of these mammoth icicles before we leave...they are incredible!

Alex and I awaiting our connecting flight in Chicago...

Alex waiting outside the Cleveland airport for our rental car shuttle...He looks so happy here, but see the video below for his true feelings!

Our hotel room is great, although we haven't spent much time there. A shuttle runs us anywhere we want to go around the Cleveland Clinic campus, which includes a whole 30 block area! Hopefully we will have more time to take pictures tomorrow of the buildings and snow. They both are amazingly beautiful. There are several gorgeous churches on the campus and around the area that we would like to visit and share with you all if we get a chance.

We truly do appreciate all the prayers and encouragement from everyone. It is so nice to know that we can keep all of our friends, family, and all our other prayer warriors updated, even if we are 1/2 a country away. We feel so very blessed to be here in Cleveland. The doctors are amazing and we know that we are in absolutely the best place we can be to get the most innovative and cutting-edge care for Alex, from experts in multiple disciplines. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and families to support us through your prayers, hugs, blog comments, and encouraging words. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough...
