Update: Trip to the pentagon!

Here is a new update straight from Steph! She also included several pics of their adventure to the Pentagon today. It's great to see Travis out...and Maddy is getting so big! What a cutie pie!


Hey all! Travis, Maddy and I got to go to the Pentagon today! Different organizations sponser trips once and a while, and Travis thought it would be good to venture out! He did very very good. His pain was horrific, it got up to a 9 out of 10, but he did amazing! He finally got to understand what his threshold is! We were gone for 8 hours, out of the hospital, with no IV pain meds! (He takes Dilauded, which is about 6 times more powerful than morphine). I am so proud of how well he did! We will hopefully go every week now to a dinner that another organization sponsers. Attached are some pics of the trip. We got to see the memorial of where the airplane crashed into the pentagon. It was very beautiful, and sacred. But we consider this a great postive step for Travis! Oh yes, and he got to experience DC traffic! It's terrible, horrible, crowded, and mean! Overall, it was a great learning experience! We love you all, and still, thank you so much for your support!!!Love, Steph PS. Maddy was a little angel!
