We are leaving tomorrow (monday) at 6:pm, then our first appointment is at 7am on tuesday.
Im very sad to leave my husband and home for a whole week but at the same time, I realize this could turn into even longer than just a week - assuming they can help and decide to keep her. I have no idea when I'll be back home. Texas is so far away. Im a little scared of the unkwown and especially because I will be all by myself to deal with everything. My husbands been a great support system - Im sad to be going without him.

Anyway I will come back to here to update you all after our first day there. Ill have my laptop with me of course. We also rented a car so we wont have to worry about the free shuttles!
