After the check up we said good-bye to all the nurses, PA's, tech's and everyone that worked on 2NW. We took them a thank you bag of assorted fruits.

Then we went back to Bills and Leity's and packed our bag and left at 3:30 Monday. We were all home sick. Once we got started we couldn't stop. We drove straight for 13 hours and got home at 5:00 in the morning. We stopped for food and gas. When we got home straight to bed for a few hours.

Matt got up and went straight to Casey's to relax!

Here is Elsa Sugarbaker and Dr. Luigi at Matt's check up and a picture of 2NW people that took care of Matt! They spoiled him!!
