Now, they're back...! It was an exciting but brief trip to Colorado for Marin & Nancy as they went through processing at the Olympic training center. Marin travelled well, but the incredibly early start Wednesday, with connecting flights to Colorado Springs coupled with the hit-the-ground running schedule of events left both of the lovely ladies exhausted and hungry. With no time to get proper nutrition and the very involved medication regiment, Marin was essentially unable to take part in the most important activity of the weekend... training. So it's been decided by all of us, including the USOC officials, that Marin should skip the Japan leg of the journey and we'll all travel together to China a couple days before the games begin. When the officials saw how difficult it was for Nancy to handle all the responsibilities by herself, day and night with no real time to get sleep, they allowed us to call in some help. So we've enlisted Aunt JoJo to make the trip to Beijing with us and she's fired-up for the assignment. Between the three of us, we will have all of Marin's needs covered from day-to-day, medical, and competition. JoJo was a big help when she was here with her family last week and she'll keep all of us in line should was need it. We're looking forward to the trip with her.

Marin and Nancy traveled home last night and all went well. Marin's appetite has been strong and we think we're close to striking the right balance between the medicines she needs and allowing her to remain alert and functional. The woman is amazing in her resilience and ability to recover from the worst of her illness. We continue to be amazed.

Swimming strong,

Marin & Nancy, Matt, Camlyn, & Michael
