Mayo Clinic

Welcome to the Mayo clinic. I wish that I was a better photographer. But I am not, so bear with me as I try to show you a little bit about the Clinic. Just a quick update though. We are pretty much done except for seeing the neurologist. Most of you know the dilemma: our scheduled appointment is Jan. 9Th. So we are going to go Wed, and try to get in by being a stand by. Please pray that we are able to see this specialist and we do not have to come back. We appreciate all of your prayers and love that we feel while we are away. Good news though my Lupus Dr. says that the lupus has not gotten any worse!!! PTL!!! So we are just waiting to see this Dr. that specializes in autonomic neuropathy (why I pass out). Then we will be all done and we can come home.
Michael says hey check this out, and we are not talking about the pictures of the Mayo clinic. He is so cute!! He is so patient and loving and he carries all our stuff:)

This is part of the Mayo/Gonda building. This is just part of the beauty of this place, it is all constructed of marble.

They have gone all out in their Christmas decorating. We loved the designs they used with poinsettias. This is only one of the many decorations that are on display.

I really do not know that you would call this a "chandelier" of sorts. It is hanging in the Mayo building right as you walk in to the administrative part of the building. It is all blown glass. This picture really does not do it justice.

This is called the Plumber building, and it was the first original Mayo building. They really do not use this building anymore. It is the most beautiful building. We love to sit in the lobby areas and just look at it.

The way that the building is set up is 1/2 of it is the Mayo building and the other 1/2 is the Gonda. I had to show you how they were divided. This is the same hallway.

A typical waiting room. See Michael in the background. His goal for this time is to actually complete a whole word search book. (He is over half way done). Each waiting room has puzzles spread out for you to do while you patiently wait:) and some of the waiting rooms have computers for you to use. which is nice then I can keep up with emails, and checking out every ones blogs.
