This Journey… I Knew This Journey Was Gonna Be A Tough One… And It Was… It Still Is… And It’s Still Is Going To Be…
But I Do Want To Thank All Of You From The Bottom Of My Heart… And I Know Feels The Same Way…
Our Journey To Boston Got Off To A Rough Start… Note The Time Differences (3 Hour Time Difference From Cali To Boston… Remember The Time Change Can Be Tough On An Adult… But On An Infant/Toddler/Kid… Man Oh Man!!!
AND… REMEMBER… WE WEREN’T GOIN’ ON A VACATION!!!
Monday: Flight Delayed @ LAX From 10:30AM-4:20PM… But Ryker Loved His 1st AirPlane Ride!!!
The House We Are Staying At Belongs To A Friend Of My Moms… When I Lived In Inglewood/Lennow/Hawthorne… My Mom Worked At Diamond Chevrolet… Her Boss Was Don Allard… The Owner… He Was Like Family To Us… Jenny… The Woman We Are Staying With… Is His Daughter… She The Head Coach For The Harvard Softball Team… Beautiful 3 Story House… We Had The Top Floor All To Ourselves… It Was Basically The Size Of 1 Bedroom Apartment… The Only Thing That Wasn’t Up There… The Kitchen… 28 Stairs… I’ll Never Forget Those Stairs… Anyways… By The Time We Got To Our “New Home”… Jenny Was Asleep… So We Didn’t Get To Meet Her… I’ve Met Her Before… But It’s Been Years Since I’ve Seen Her…
Tuesday: Arrived @ Boston @ 3:30AM In The Pouring Rain… Arrived @ “New Home” @ 4:30AM… Arrived @ Boston Children’s Medical Hospital @ 10:30AM For Orienatition/Tour…
Jenny Left To Work Before We Woke Up & Wouldn’t Be Home Until After We Fell Asleep… Still Haven’t Seen Her…
Wednesday: Arrived @ Hospital @ @ 7:30AM For Pre-Op…
Finally Met Jenny Wednesday Night… By The Way… This Is Jenny… She Is The Sweetest Lady Ever… But… She’s A Freakin’ BadAss!!!

Thursday: Arrived @ Hospital @ 9:00AM For Anesthesia… CT… ECHO… Recovery…
The Recovery Was Rough For Ryker…
Friday: Arrived @ Hospital @ 0630AM For Cardiac Catheter… Had To Stay OverNight Because They Found Two Collateral Heart Vessels… Danielley Stayed OverNight… I Cried The Entire Way “Home”…
Much Better Recovery For Ryker… Pretty Much Drugged Up…
Saturday: I Woke Up @ 4:30AM Just Because… Got To The Hospital @ 7:30AM… Saturday Around Noon… Ryker Was Released To Go Home…
Danielley & Ryker Were Asleep In Bed… I Just Got Danielley & I StarBucks & Just Sat & Watched TV Until They Woke Up… By This Time… They Had Moved Us Into Our Own Private Hospital Room… Once We Signed The Release Papers… Ryker Was Ready To Go Home & Play In The Leaves…
And Today… Sunday:
Danielle’s Mom Will Be Flying In Early… So The 3 Of Us Will Be Picking Her Up From The Airport… Her Hotel Is About 35 Mins Away From We’re Staying & Her Check In Isn’t Until 3PM… I Would Say We’d Love To Just Take A Walk In One Of These Beautiful Parks… Around One Of These Beautiful Lakes… With All These Beautiful Flowers Falling Down Upon Us… But… It’s Supposed To Rain… So We’ll See… She’ll Be Staying In Boston Until The Day After Ryker’s Surgery…
Side Note… Rain Or Not… IT’S FREAKIN’ COLD OUT HERE!!!
Monday & Tuesday:
No Plans… Again… This Is Not A Vacation… So Can’t Really Go Check Out Cool Restaurants Or Any Cool Indoor Boston Stuff… Ryker Can’t Get Sick (COVID) Before Surgery…
Wednesday:
Danielley & I Get A COVID Test… And Then… Just Chill… There’s A Sushi Spot Down The Street With Outdoor Seating… Or There’s This BOMB Pizza Place Down The Street As Well…
We Have Ryker In Our Hands Until Early Thursday… And That’s When His Surgery Begins…
Surgery Is Going To Last 8-12 Hours… He’ll Be In The ICU For At Least 3 Days… Then He’ll Remain @ The Hospital For 3-4 Weeks…
So That’s It Ladies & Gents…
I Just Wanted To Give All Of You A Heads Up On What’s Going On…
For Those Who Have FaceBook Know That I’ve Been Trying To Keep Everyone In The Loop… But I Know Not Every Does…
I’ll Keep Posting Stuff As Much As Possible On FaceBook…
And I’m Trying My Best To Get The Blog/WOD Up As Early As Possible… I Have All The WODs Already Programmed… It’s Just The WOD/Score/Quote Pics That Might Be Up The Day After Because Of The 3 Hour Time Difference… We’re Already In Bed…
Keep Killin’ It In The Gym Ladies & Gents… (65% Week…) Just Pretend I’m Right There Next To You… You Know What I’m Looking For… You Know My Cues…
Stay Strong & Again…
