February 9, Wednesday

So today started great.  Blye woke up with no pain in his arm and he was ready for breakfast.  So we got around and headed down.  We walked in and there was Blye's crush, Natascha.  He was so excited that he got to see her and he was ready to eat as well.  We had a very crowded dining room and we ended up setting in another part of the restaraunt.  Up until this morning we had deemed one certain table ours, and it was really nice to have it too.  After setting at this one that we had this morning it was a little difficult for us to navigate Blye through, so he had to stay put today.  Normally we take him around the buffet and let him pick out what he wants, today he just stayed put.  So after breakfast we had already decided that we needed to do laundry.  Well and doing laundry was not going to be a simple task.  There is laundry services here at the hotel, but it is VERY expensive.  We decided that it would be lots easier to find one in the city.  Well the thing was, the day that we got lost in the city we had seen a "waschsalon" but we wanted to make sure that we knew exactly where it was before we loaded up 1 wheelchair and 2 suitcases.  So Grandpa and I went in search of the "waschsalon" and we found it.  It was almost scary how fast we got there and got back.  When we got back it was almost time for lunch so we had tomato soup and sandwiches from the "Brot & Kuchen".  The sad thing was we would of had more soup if the bottom of the bag would have held.  Well it was a good thing we were going to do laundry.  So after lunch we headed out to do laundry.  We got to the "waschsalon" with no problem and got everything started.  It was pretty easy to get it going even with the language barrier.  It didn't take long after we watched someone else do it.  So after everything was started Gary, Blye and I went on a walk.  Before we came back the laundry was finished and Grandpa and Grandma had moved things to the dryers.  It took only 20 minutes to dry all the clothes and we were set.  We hopped back on the trains and headed back to the hotel.  After we got to our new favorite stop "Prinzenalle", Gary and I headed to find supper while Grandpa and Grandma headed back to the room with Mr. Blye.  We had Pizza tonight from a place here on the back side of the hotel called Tele Pizza.  We ordered the Greek and the Diablo pizza and Lasagna for Blye.  We got back and had supper, once again it was very nice.  After supper we worked on some homework for Blye and now you are finding me here updating you.  So I will sign off now, but I want to ask you to wear your orange shirt tomorrow.  We are headed to the center at 9am to receive the treatment.  Blye won't have to be put under, he will receive a medicine that will just relax him so that he can sit for the time that they need him to.  So it should be a low stress day, but a busy one for sure.  So remember Orange for Blye and we love you all for helping make this all possible.  Tomorrow is the day that we all have been waiting for.  WE LOVE YOU ALL!
