Rebecca, Jacob and I left for Michigan today to be a part of a research study for Jacob's ADHD and Aspergers disorder. They flew us and are putting us up in a hotel and then tomorrow, they will do a lot of tests with Jacob and an MRI and do a lot of interviewing with us. It started out this morning with Jacob waking up at 4 am when we didn't need to be up until 5:15. Being the flexible parents that we are, we rolled with it and started getting ready. That is the moment that I remembered I forgot to bring Jacob's patches that release his medications into his system all day long. We panicked and even thought about driving from our hotel at the airport all the way home and back. We figured out we had enough medication that we could give every 2-3 hours, but we had to have patches for Saturday. We figured out the Rebecca's dad could over night them to our hotel so first crisis averted. Jacob was excitedly anxious to get to the airport and get on the plane. When we got to the airport, we found our flight was delayed an hour, which meant more waiting for Jacob. We finally got on our plane and all went well to Chicago. On the way off the plane, Jacob strikes up conversation with the crew and gets wings to take home for his brothers. Leave it us to Jacob to meet everyone where he goes. He also made friends with the captain and crew on the flight from Chicago to Lansing, MI, and he got to go up into the cockpit. Once in Lansing, we found that Rebecca's bag never made it to Lansing and was still in Chicago. Of course, my bag would have been fine to get lost, because I could do without. We are hoping that it arrives tonight between 10 and midnight. Jacob loved the grad student who picked us up at the airport and she was so great with him. Sounds like a good group of people we get to be with tomorrow. Jacob's first question at the hotel was, "is the pool open?" It opens tomorrow, so after the day tomorrow, you know where he will be. All else is well and we look forward to tomorrow. Keep up the prayers and we will try to update with some pictures.
