I'd be lying if I told you Victoria and I weren't on egg shells the whole voyage to the doctor's office yesterday but one very, very important thing I can assure you — Queen Gwendolyn thoroughly enjoyed being escorted in her shiny cherry red wagon that the Families of SMA Foundation sent us and loved being outside again looking up at the trees and clouds on a beautiful day in Santa Barbara. And I think the fact that she ended the trek asleep in her wagon is probably a good sign that she'll be having many, many more excursions in the future — that is, if her mush team (i.e. us) can stay in shape for that “gentle little hill” climb leading back up to the house 
Love,
Bill and Victoria
