Brewers/Pirates with the Edmonds'

Last Thursday, before Austin left the hospital following his final chemo treatment, Brewers pitchers Ben Sheets and Derrick Turnbow stopped by. Austin got the Brewers hat that we gave him signed, a T-shirt, and suite tickets for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Austin and his family had a well-deserved "night out" after being in and out of the hospital since January. We were very excited when Austin and his grandparents invited us to the game with them. It was great to see Austin out of the hospital acting like a 3 year old!

Austin was enthralled with the grounds crew both before and after the game. The walk out of the stadium was a little brisk and breezy for Austin, so we bnndled him up with whatever we had.
The excitement of the game and the cheering of the 40,361 fans didn't seem to faze Austin. The view from our suite on the 3rd base line was terrific and Mike got a good panaramic shot. We had free beer & soda and our own bathroom! It was an awesome evening and the Brewers 6-3 win was an added bonus!
