Maggie’s infusion/clinic visit went off without a hitch yesterday. We finished and checked into our hotel in time for a quick nap. After sleeping off the Benadryl (premed), Maggie even felt like going out for dinner. We continue to be thankful for no-low nausea with this chemo course. We awoke this morning to updated weather advisories calling for snow from Birmingham to Asheville (and beyond), so we loaded the truck (Phil’s bad boy for handling snowy mountain roads) and started out. We did beat most of the storm conditions – arriving in Asheville around 5:00 pm. Our trip has been planned with the much-appreciated help of Asheville’s economic development rock star and family friend (and former Hattiesburg resident) Ben Teague. He had made reservations at the Hyatt Place downtown and tipped off the staff to prepare for Maggie’s arrival. Her bed was covered with amazing gifts from all over town. How heart-warming to find Mississippi-style hospitality in North Carolina! What I want to know is how Ben pulled off the snow for her? Maggie has been hoping for a true snow event with real accumulation. Her prayer/dream/request (whatever it is) is being granted right outside our window as I type. We are safe and warm inside and will use this evening to plan our stay. Maggie’s main goal is to try out her Christmas gifts – new camera lenses. I’ll be sure to post a photo or two when I update next.
Once again, thank you for the prayers for good tolerance of drugs and safety in traveling. We are blessed to call you all friends and family.
I was a bit concerned with the weather and you driving north to Ashville. But not to worry with God watching out for you. Have a great trip. Ashville is a wonderful place to visit!
Great. Enjoy the fun times together. Hugs to all.
Praying…….and Maggie, enjoy the snow ?
So enjoyed this read. Smiling as I exit and so thankful for love expressed in deeds and kindness. Enjoy the rest of the trip.
Enjoy every minute!
Hope you have a wonderful snow filled adventure. So glad to hear things went well in Birmingham. Have fun, and stay safe and warm. Love and hugs.
Asheville is an awesome place. Ben Teague is a great guy. Wish the weather would have cooperated to allow a possible trip to Black Mountain and/or the Billy Graham retreat center. Both interesting places. Thankful for the good report and safe travels. Praying in dry North Miss.
Have a joyful time in North Carolina! Enjoy the snow.
That is sooo awesome!!! Hope you all have a wonderful time!!!
Y’all have a wonderful time!!! And I am always praying…. stay warm.
The Teague crew is so happy and excited that y’all are here!! We are hoping and praying for an awesome time in Asheville for Maggie. We can’t wait to see all of you! Enjoy the snow, Maggie!!
God honors us by answering our prayers
Thankful the infusion went well, and praying you all have a wonderful trip!
