I'm late to the good luck, but I'll send positive energy for a faster recovery. So glad to hear she's ok

Ah, home sweet home   It was a long ride back as our GPS seemed temperamental and confused, but after some adventurous cruising around Boston, it got its bearings back and we got outta there.  Then once back in Maine, we made a detour to Portland as the wife had a place she wanted to go, and the GPS acted up again.  It seemed like it couldn't handle or keep up with the busy areas I guess .  But we got to where she wanted to go, and then got headed back home.  Of course there were a couple stops to change/feed baby girl, and she wasn't in the best mood for a good portion of the way home, but a stop at Walmart about an hour away from home made her happy.  I think she just wanted to get out of her carseat and see some things.  She loves being out in public and just looking at all the people and sights.  We've got some considerable unpacking to do, but thankfully we had taken the rest of the week off from work, so we'll deal with that tomorrow. 

And man, wasn't it hot in Boston.  It was like 20-30 degrees warmer there than here, and quite humid.  Sirens were going off and on all through the evening and night.  Very busy place, and I can say I would never want to live in something like that.  It would be just too much of an adjustment at this stage of my life.  I wouldn't even want to send my children there for college or whatever after spending just a day there as I'd worry about them adjusting, but it's not like nobody's ever done it.  I'm just too used to life in rural downeast Maine, but I wouldn't want it any other way at this point

So all is well now.  The Hemangioma is located in a fairly common spot for infants (salivatory gland area), and it's not affecting the functions of that gland or her ear, which are the primary concerns.  Hasn't affected her eating comfort or anything like that as they commented that she looked healthy and didn't appear to be going without due to any discomfort (she's a little chunky ), so all of these factors confirmed that it is nothing to be concerned about   We just have to have our docs here monitor it every 6 months or so by ultrasound just to keep tabs on it, and the Boston doc doesn't need to see her unless we see the need to do so.  Which is great news for the obvious reasons, plus I'm more than happy to not have to go through that trip again.  It was rather nerving to navigate and there were a couple close calls, but overall I guess I did well as we all made it there and back home without incident   Although I know I ticked off at least one taxi driver  

Here's a pic of her and I at a service plaza stop on the way there (almost out of Maine)


And here she is sending her thanks to all you great folks


Again, thanks so much for all the support   It's really great to have such a friendly group here in this cyber community/family

I'm glad you made it safe at home. Boston sounds like a hot scary mess and not the kind of place I would want to visit. Your Maine is a place I've wanted to visit for many years, as I love lobster and the north. I'm originally from Maryland so winter is definitely something I miss. We only get a handful of decently cool days in a year here in Florida... I do like it though for being close to the water. 

That aside, this is truly excellent news about your little one and it has made my evening

so glad you got the news you were expecting now you all can just enjoy her and watch her grow healthily with this chalked up as an experience in the big city.

Thanks guys

It was a hot scary mess for this small town Maine boy, but I'm sure it's not so bad for those that are used to the busy city lifestyle.  Just not for me is all.  I can't say I'd miss winter, but I experience it every year, so it's nothing new to me.  I do like having all 4 seasons that actually are different though, although some would say we have only 2:  Winter and not winter

Oh, and one sad note:  I didn't use a MT/SAK the entire trip

Monrogue,

Very relieved to see everything is alright!    

Great news indeed, and also happy to see the ride is not too eventful.  I remembered driving in Boston downtown was a little difficult due to all the narrow one-way streets, and it messed up the GPS real good. 

[dks]

Good news !! !!! !!!!!!!

[82brutus]

Well I'm sure glad it's good news and that you made it safely home!   It's really quite easy to tick off the cab drivers there so if that's all that happened them it sounds like a good trip.

Phew, glad to hear everything is ok and everyone's back home safe and sound! So are you saying that you would never make a trip to Philly? I ended up living there for a little over two years, and I was a rural only! JR

Very, very happy to see this!
