patience

Patiently we wait for drug levels to be optimal and Jack's recent rash and fever to dissolve. It appears he may be allergic to one of his anti-viral meds or possibly an avocado that he ate on Saturday evening. (Afer 36 hrs. we now think the meds are the culprit). The fever and rash are being treated with Benadryl which makes for a very sleepy boy. So, we're hoping to crack the case today and get back on track for discharge. I'm guessing we have a few more days here as he needs to be totally stable before departing home. 

Here's a few pics from Saturday night. The crime scene: family happily eating and drinking after-hours in the children's library (no food + beverages allowed) desperately seeking some solitude. Jack delightfully ate 1/2 an avocado and took his first steps since surgery. It was a great night!






























Sam guilty of diving into the brownie pan.

Ali and everyone...I am enjoying reading about this process and seeing some great photos! I am so happy to see the smiles and it is a great reminder of how special these kiddos are. I really miss you all, and hope to see you soon! Remember, if you need some chores done, I am sure that Sam would volunteer to help me wash some dishes and do some laundry-since he usually requests that when I see him.
Love, Rebecca
