Each Time I Leave - Chicago 7/17

On Sunday, we enjoyed one final lecture on artificial iris implants. This was a fascinating topic presented by Dr. Francis Price about technology that has emerged which will definitely make an impact in aniridics lives if approved by the FDA. The iris comes in brown, green or blue and has a stationary 4mm pupil all of which serve to provide better light filtering and focus in many cases and which, as an added benefit, also improve the cosmetic appearance of those who receive the transplant. We're hopeful that Mark can take advantage of this technology in the future!

Once we finished packing our things, we passed the remainder of our time in Chicago visiting shops along the Magnificent Mile after enjoying tasty hamburgers at Mike Ditka's restaurant!Unfortunately, "Da Coach" wasn't in the house when we stopped by, but the food made up for it! One of our favorite shops was the Hershey Store. You can see some of what they have at. We enjoyed some yummy brownies for dessert here which had caramel kisses and junior mints in them! We also bought a yummy Hershey cookbook so that we can make some yummy brownies (and other treats) of our own at home!

All too soon, the time for fun was over and we jumped on the train to rush to the airport to make our flight home. We were soon home in California. Our bags didn't join us immediately, but, thankfully, they were delivered by the airline the next day!
