Final Friday…
March 14th, 2008
We can’t believe this but it is true…. today was Devin’s last day of therapy:) Of course I started packing today just so tomorrow we can just watch the time go by….As I figured packing for the way home was way easier then packing for the way over. I actually have 3 suitcases in one because the only things I have left to bring home is our clothes, books and pictures, which will all fit in one suitcase. Also, I can tell my body is definitely ready to come home as I told myself this morning only 2 more of these showers!!!!
Our flight plans are leaving the hospital on Sunday at 6:00 am as our flight leaves at 8:00 a.m. to Hong Kong and then we leave Hong Kong at 11:40 a.m. and arrive in Chicago at 12:50 p.m. Can you believe the trip is only 1 hour long. OHHHHH don’t I wish this were true but we do gain a half of a day because technically it will be 1:50 a.m. on Monday when we get home. Yes, I have already made sure that there will be someone at the gate in Hong Kong to take us directly to our boarding flight since we only have 1 hour layover and there is no way I am going to miss my flight in Hong Kong this time!!!! Trust me when I say they won’t want me to miss my flight!!!!
I wish I could say that when we get home we get to rest but you know us go go go…Devin and I get to rest on Monday and then off to Decorah we go for therapy for the week. However we will be traveling each day instead of staying. Not going to keep me away from Jenna for a long time!!! I know what your thinking poor Devin but trust me when I say it will do him great. Plus he will be on spring break the end of the week so he would be bored anyway:)
Tonight Devin and I are taking some of the doctors, nurses and therapist out to eat so that should be a fun time. It is in appreciation of all they have done for us here and for making our stay as comfortable as possible.
Well that’s all we have to say today but be sure to check in tomorrow for our farewell comments.
Have a great Friday….
Kim & Devin

Hi Kim & Devin,
Your time is winding down now. Enjoy the rest of your time in China. It had to have been one of the most memorable experiences you’ll ever have. Hope you have a better trip coming home than getting there. We look just as forward to hear from you when returning home as we do reading these blogs everyday.
Have a safe return.
Dean, Brenda, Crystal & Austin

Hi Kim and Devin,
How exciting–you’re almost home!! I hope you had all of your “memorable” flight experiences on the way over and coming home will be “run of the mill” in comparison!! Devin, we are so anxious to have you back with us in school. I’m going to try to be coming back for half day mornings on the same day too. Be ready for a grand welcome!!

Kim and Devin,
Finally coming home, what a wonderful feeling for all. It is amazing how the time has gone by. Looking back at the memories and experiences you 2 have shared, it is all worth the trip. Kim, your inner strenght amazes me and Devin you are such a lucky little man to have a mommy and daddy who love you so much. And let’s not forget Jenna….she too is lucky to have you as a big brother…so happy and strong….feel all the hugs as your plane nears home…safe travels…
Lisa
