Ah, that sucks your therapist is out on vacation, but I'm glad you can see another therapist if things get worse. It must be really nice to have that option.

Sorry to hear about the traffic, though. I agree that 5.5 hours is a lot of driving, but it sounds like the trip was well worth it? You have a great care team, and that is hard to come by IMO. You are very lucky to have them.
