If I were  to title this post it would be:
I Hate it When the Plan  Changes
This afternoon we got a phone call from Sloan-Kettering (Dana  that is where we will be, we hope that is the hospital you are working at....and  of course we remember you!).  They just wanted to let us know about Ally's scans  next week.  Our impression before 4:00 this afternoon was that Ally had several  scans next Tuesday, we would have Wednesday free and her surgery would be  Thursday.  So......daddy was very surprised when they said Ally's Monday scan  would be in the morning.  Ummmm.....we are leaving Boston at 11:00 on the train  on Monday.  CHANGE OF PLAN!!!
We had to scramble and get our train tickets  refunded, then buy the more expensive weekend ticket and get ahold of the social  worker to get into the Ronald McDonald house earlier. 
Changing the train  tickets was actually easier than we expected (and we got a full refund!) and we  are still waiting to hear about the Ronald McDonald House.  Not a huge deal, but  now we have one less day at home, and have to travel to Boston in what seems to  be a 3 day snow storm.  I am sure everything will work out...it always  does!
Happy New Year!
