New York, Niagara, Maintenance

I Love New York...Sort Of!

For those of you that have wondered, YES, Francesca made it to Rochester to swim in the Zone Meet over Spring Break. She had a blast being out on her own, riding the bus with the team, and wearing all the cool gear they gave them. Unfortunately, her swimming of the 200 fly did not reflect how much fun she was having. She added time, and did not make the finals of her event. It appears that nerves got the better of her, as she informed me when she finished swimming that she "felt like she was going to throw up". It still was a good experience for her though. She'll be better equipped to recognize nervousness and deal with it at her next big meet.

Swimmer Girls Take Over Rochester!

With Francesca's swim over, and 1 1/2 days left of the swim meet, Nona and I went exploring in and around the Rochester area. We strolled along the shores of Lake Ontario, we visited the home of Susan B. Anthony and George Eastman (founder of Kodak Eastman), visited the Rochester High Falls area and shopped till we dropped.

We picked up Francesca when the swim meet was over on Saturday evening and headed for Niagara Falls. Easter morning, we visited The Falls. The weather was beautiful and we were amazed at every turn.

In the Meantime....

Carson is enjoying life on maintenance. His energy and strength are increasing every day, he continues to talk non stop and he has quit napping. Luckily, we can have some play dates with some of his buds, so it is not just the family that has to try and keep up with him!

We head back to the clinic on Friday to check counts and expect to continue our medications at home just as we have been doing for the last two weeks.

Carson and his bud Riley take a break from playing for a quick pic.
Riley brought Carson a great toy from the movie CARS - he loves it! Thanks Riley!
