✈️✈️✈️2007 May 1, Tuesday, Trip to Shriners Hospital in Lexington KY

Tuesday, May 1, Lexington, KY

Shrine's Hospital, Lexington, Kentucky

We left the Muscle Shoals Airport at 7:45 A.M. in Bobby's airplane for the second time, heading to the Shriners Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.
We are taking Meadow to Shriners via Angle Flights for medical reasons. Meadow had multiple problems.

We arrive at the Kentucky Airport at 9:30 A.M. 

This time I took my camera and took several pictures.
We took pictures of each other wearing the gigantic headphones with a microphone to speak into. 

We had to wear headphones to communicate.
I took pictures of Meadow laughing; she was in a jolly mood.
Meadow sat facing us. Maybe she was laughing because we looked funny with the headphones on.

I took several pictures of the ground below and the clouds above.

Kentucky

Robert Trent Jones Golf Course

I took pictures of the raging blue/green Tennessee River as it flowed through the Wilson Dam.
I took pictures of the sand pits and the lush greenery at Fighting Joe's Robert Trent Jones Golf Course in Muscle Shoals. We had a fantastic view of the golf course from our plane.
I took pictures of the Renaissance Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Florence, which is home to 360 Grille.
360 is fine dining with a fabulous view of the Tennessee River.
When we flew over Lexington, Kentucky, I took pictures of the horse track and stables that were fit for a king.

Meadow strapped in her car seat, laughing
Meadow was dressed in pink from head to toe

Meadow in the examination room, I was dressed in yellow, just a hint darker than the examination room. 

When we arrived at the airport, Bobby went inside to get a van to take us to the hospital for foMeadow's appointment.

Meadow was weighed, her head and length were measured, and then we were taken to the Penguin examination room.
The examining room was painted a pale yellow with pictures hanging on the wall. A mural window was painted on the wall. Inside the window was a walrus wearing ear muffs, three penguins wearing caps, a red balloon, and an Owl wearing a red scarf.

Meadow saw Doctor Bennett, and he examined Meadow's bones. Lora talked to Mrs. Preston about Botox, and Mrs. Preston said it was a protein made from bacteria.

Lora talked to the doctor about  Meadow getting Botox injections and taking Meadow to Baltimore, Maryland, for therapy.
When all the doctor visits were over, we went to the cafeteria for lunch.

We ate pinto beans, cornbread, broccoli, salmon patties, watermelon, and brownies.

Getting ready to leave

After our meal, Lora called our pilot, Bobb, and we were in the air by 1:50 P.M.

It was very hot and humid, which caused a bumpy ride home.

Our pilot explained that when the hot air rises, it will cause the plane to bounce.
It had been a beautiful day for traveling. 

My daughter is not too keen on flying, but she said she enjoyed this flight. 

I love to fly; it is safer than driving.

✈️✈️✈️2007~ Tuesday, May 1, Trip to Shriners Hospital in Lexington, KY

We left the Muscle Shoals airport at 7:45 A.M. 

This is our second trip to the Shiners Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.

I brought my camera this time so I could take pictures. 

On the plane, I took several pictures of my granddaughter, who was laughing and enjoying the flight.

My daughter and I had to wear large headphones so we could talk to the pilot.

So we took pictures of each other wearing the headphones.

We flew low enough for me to take some awesome pictures of the ground below. 

I took several pictures of a boat chugging along the Tennessee River toward the ocks at Wilson Dam.

I took pictures of the Marriott Hotel and the Renaissance Tower standing behind it. 

For miles, I could see green trees, buildings with smoke rising from the tops, a white water tower, and the flow of the Tennessee River.

Then we flew over the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, what a view it looked like a video game with all the crooked paths, sandpits, and clubhouse. 

We left the Tennessee Valley, flying through Tennessee and Kentucky, all the while I was taking pictures of lush greenery, different land shapes, hills and valleys, busy streets, houses, factories, and swimming pools. 

Kentucky was a totally different view with the brilliant glow of the Kentucky Blue Grass, acres and acres of horse tracks, green rooftop barns, a lush green field filled with Kentucky racing horses, and miles of white fencing. 

Our pilot gave my granddaughter a TEC Air lanyard, neck strap, which we put around her neck. 

We safely landed at the Kentucky Air Field at 9:30 A.M. Standing next to the building were rows of horse jockey statues.

When we arrived, our pilot went inside to get a van to take us to Shriners Hospital for my granddaughter's appointment.

After we checked in, my granddaughter was weighed, her head and length were measured, and she was taken to the Penguin examination room. 

In the examination room, there was a mural on the wall behind the table where my granddaughter sat: a white and red owl, holding a red balloon, a black walrus with white tusks, wearing red earmuffs, three black and white penguins, with orange beaks, wearing hats of red, green,n and yellow, all standing in the snow.

Doctor DB examined my granddaughter's bones. 

My daughter talked to BP about Botox, and she told my daughter that Botox was a protein made by bacteria.

My daughter told the doctors that she wanted to take my granddaughter to Baltimore, Maryland, for therapy.

They gave us a lunch voucher, and we walked to the cafeteria where we ate pinto beans, cornbread, broccoli, salmon patties, watermelon, and brownies.

The food I ate did not agree with my stomach, and the tea we drank was instant, not brewed. 

Our pilot came to pick us up at 1:50 P.M. 

Our flight home was very bumpy, and our pilots said that when hot air rises, it causes the plane to bounce up and down. 

My daughter had not flown many times, and this flight was a little upsetting to her. 

We arrived safely at the Muscle Shoals Airport.
