Exciting announcement

I'm sorry it has been awhile since my last post. It seems like things have been non-stop since we have made the decision to go for the ABI in Italy! The fundraiser at Tango went very well......good food, good people and lots of fun. I promise to post some pictures soon. I have been having trouble uploading video to this blog but I'll keep trying.

OK....big announcement......we have a date for Amelia's ABI in Italy! We need to be there by Feb 2nd for testing and then if all goes well, her ABI will be implanted on Feb 7th. That sounds like a long time away but it is coming up quick and we have a lot of planning to do. We found a small apartment within walking distance to the hospital for a good price and are working on plane tickets now. Luckily, my brother Martin has offered his airline miles to us (and he has a ton from traveling with work) and that should cover most of it (thanks Martin!!). We have a few other offers from friends to help cover the rest if we need it. That will be a huge help since plane tickets are expensive.
