the trip out to dallas 11/02/09
So we've made it to Dallas safe and sound. The trip out here this time was a bit interesting. We we're able to stop off in Birmingham on the way out and saw Jack and Sidney and their families (their blogs are off in the sidebar to the right) . Its always great seeing other families and catching up on how everyone is growing. On our way we realized we were running low on Xopenex, Isaiah's main breathing treatment right now, and we had to find a 24 hr pharmacy along the route which was a bit interesting. We finally found a CVS in Brandon, MS but since we had never been to a CVS we had to get into their computer, and then something must've got entered wrong so the meds were initially denied, and then we had to go through the whole thing over again, but we finally got the meds and we're glad we did since they've helped Isaiah a ton.
We made it maybe a half hour past Brandon and stopped off in Clinton, MS and due to some miscommunication ended up staying in a super sketchy hotel. There was nastiness growing inside the AC unit so we didn't turn it on, and the whole place was just grimy and just didn't feel safe. I think the icing on the cake was when we were flipping through the cable channels was accidentally running across the unscrambled porn. Not a good experience.
We had hoped to meet up with another family, the Hurds, in Shreveport, but because we didn't get as far as usual on the first day, and the lack of sleep fearing for our general health and safety at the hotel in Clinton, we just ended up driving through to Dallas. We monopolized the Texas welcome center's family restroom for 20 minutes to give Isaiah a breathing treatment, and saw what I swear was monkey roadkill (like a ring tailed lemur) on the side of the road, but nothing else significant enough to write about.
