Salt Lake City - First Week back at Work

Well we are here at the beautiful AC Marriott Hotel across from the Salt Palace Convention Center.

Here are the blessings of the trip

• The Marantec team is so nice to him and they all know his journey. 
• The booth at the IDA show is beautiful and welcoming. 
• I got to meet all the German and US part of the team. 
• They had a beautiful white couch that Brace could sit on during the show. 
• He wears his gloves so shaking hands isn't a problem. 
• He seems to walk for a much longer time than he can stand. 
• They were fine with him ducking out early for a nap before dinner. 
• He has been able to eat a fabulous dinner every night. Mostly tube feeding for the rest of the meals. We attempt lunch but it has been a fail most days.  No problem - we come to the show with his formula. 
• He slept 13 hours last night.  A little late to the show and they were OK with that. 
• I got to come! :)

I just wrote a quick update because I knew a lot of you were worried about the trip.  We haven't had any time to visit with friends because he is either sleeping, working the couch at the show or eating dinner with Marantec or clients.   We fly out tomorrow.
