What was supposed to be our travel day to Boston instead started with a 5 a.m. phone call from Boston saying Quinn's doctor had a family emergency and had to leave town, so he needed to reschedule our surgery. Great sadness for the doctor, of course, but honestly we were relieved for the delay. My bronchitis has ramped up to a pretty nasty level and Quinn continues to cough in his sleep, making us fear he's getting it, too. Now even Tom is feeling sick.
Traveling the way I felt would have been nightmarish and I seriously doubt I would have been allowed in the hospital with this cough. I am on antibiotics, but still...
So we have a new date of May 20, and a new set of plane tickets with less convenient times, including a 2:15 a.m. arrival back home after surgery. But at least we didn't have to travel sick.

It is probably for the best. My daughter was around many sick family members and she didn't seem to catch what they had. Now, she is recovering from surgery and is fighting off a bacterial pneumonia. She probably had it sitting dormant until her surgery. At least you will all be able to get well too. Best wishes for your new surgery date.

Thanks, Jill - and best wishes to your daughter! How scary! I think you're right, this is definitely for the best.
Late May will be a better time for you all-it has been very cold here in New England. We had overnight freezing temperatures much of last week and some snow-not a lot, but not exactly the best April weather, either, and it wouldn't have helped you guys to have those temperature extremes along with bad travel air, hospital air, etc.
