Traveling 150lbs less.....

We are back from Chicago and the Oprah Winfrey Show! What an amazing time. We arrived in Chicago on Wednesday AM and shopped all day long (purchased for myself a Beautiful Tiffany Ring) and had a delicious dinner at Roy's in Chicago. Thursday was the Oprah show, when we arrived at Harpo studios we learned the Drs. Oz and Roizen were going to be on. After going through extensive security we finally made it on set with fantastic seats in the center third row! The show was great, the topic was leading a healthy lifestyle. After the show Dr. Roizen took us back in the "Green Room" where we waited to meet Lady O....We were greated and Dr. Roizen mentioned my weight loss to her and she congratulated me. We then took a couple photos with her. The experience was awesome. Dr. Roizen told me that he will get the photos and forward them to me. I await patiently.

Thursday night was a whole other story.....We were dressed and ready to go to yet another dinner when we learned that Isabella had cut the top of her finger and might loss the tip on her middle finger. We immediately went into panic mode and tried to get back to Cleveland the quickest way. We ended up driving back to Cleveland the long 6 hours and arriving back about 4:30am. Stacey immediately went to Isabella. The hand surgeon was able to re-attach the finger tip and hopefully it will be OK. We will not now for 2 weeks. Please say a prayer for Isabella.

What I know for sure....traveling 150lbs lighter is MUCH easier. I was able to board the plane with ease, buckle my seat belt and sit comfortably in my seat!!!

I am sorry that what sounded like such a wonderful trip, had to end in such a stressful way! Let me know how Isabella is doing - my prayers are with her, and the family.
