Thank you Ronald!

We want to give a huge shout out to the Ronald McDonald charity for providing us with a great place to stay here in Minnesota! I never knew what amazing things the coin donations in McDonald's does. We are staying in a one bedroom apartment in one of the nicest and largest Ronald houses in the world. It provides free accommodation to families with children who have life threatening diseases while being treated at the University of Minnesota. It's a great facility and volunteers cook meals almost daily. It's also really nice to be surrounded by families going through the same thing as us. We will be here for the next two months until Lyla reaches day +100 and she gets the ok to go home! Several people have asked so here is the address:


Ronald McDonald house
Helen & Steve Edgington
621 Oak St. SE
Minneapolis, MN 55414

Update on Lyla later today...
