Houston we have landed!

Well we do we start?Our trip was going well until we hit San Francisco where our plane was delayed and by the time we reached Denver we had missed our connecting flight to Houston.The airline put us up in a hotel, gave us dinner vouchers and kept our luggage ready for the flight out in the morning.Now for those in Australia it is winter here and so we were confronted with freezing tempretures and snow and we weren't prepared(clothing wise).This was the first time any of us has seen the snow.When we finally made it to Houston and went to collect our luggage we find out it is still in Denver.Not happy since we had been in the same clothes for nearly two whole days.The airline got it on the first flight and Fedex dropped it off about 5pm at our hotel in Houston,Thank God!!!

Today we went out and looked around where we are staying and we are just amazed how big Houston is,there is nothing in Australia to compare this city to(it is HUGE)The road systems are so complex and the highway is a maze of concrete overpasses.We have come to the conclusion that everything in America is big,the cars,the roads,shops and products and even our microwave and oven in the hotel is abnormally big for what we are used to. We have decided to try the same fast food resturants here that we have back home to compare the taste and there is definately a difference,KFC tastes great here and there is a huge (again I use that word) selection on the menu.

We also went the Texas Childrens Hospital to meet Laura the International Patient Co-ordinator.The hospital is massive and again nothing to compare to back home.The set up is great there is more than one major building that all connect together with in door bridges,the interior is well suited for children beautifully presented.Both of the girls were given a gift from the hospital and we were taken on a tour.It is amazing and makes you think what is happening in Perth?

The people here have been so nice to us and they just love the girls.Also they don't stare at Jayda like they do back home and that has made us feel good especially as Jayda's Hemangioma is growing again.Jayda now see's the Neurologist this week and they are trying to push forward her MRI/MRA to this week,if not it will be next week as planned.
