Quick update: We talked to the Tampa this morning, and they were not able to get us in until next week. Cincinnati can take us on Wednesday. Our doctors here agree that we can't wait until next week, so we're flying to Cincinnati tomorrow. Wednesday we'll have a full day of tests (MRI, Ultrasound, ECHO Cardiograms, etc.); Thursday will be the surgery.
The doctors in Cincinnati have an excellent track record, and our doctors are quite confident that we will have a good experience there. We also appreciate that Cincinnati does more follow up then Tampa as well as assigns you family counselors to help you deal with the emotional parts of everything -- so we think we're making a good choice.
Elsa and Bea seem to be enjoying the bed rest and high-calorie diet they have me on. They've been kicking a lot more. Hopefully that means Elsa has some more room. I was singing to them last night. They seem to enjoy showtunes more than lullabies... at least I choose to believe they were kicking in appreciation and not trying to get me to stop.
Matt kicked some Northwest Airlines butt -- getting them to come down $2000 on our airfares. But, he wants to post that story himself. More later, Melissa

Matt and Melissa,
I hope you don't mind that Renee filled me in and directed me to your blog. I just wanted to let you know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the entire family through this difficult time. I think the names you chose for the girls are absolutely beautiful. I hope you have a safe and successful journey in Cincinnati.
