Up and At 'Em

Making an important call

Coloring with the Child Life Specialist

Playing with Daddy

"rain" (train)

Connie walked from his room to the playroom on 5East. He played at the train table for quite awhile and then in the phone booth and telephone. After that, he walked a whole lap around the floor and impressed everyone during rounds. He's probably going to be sore after all that so we are going to start alternating ibuprofen and tylenol. His nurse, Carol, said he did drain quite a bit during that time out of bed. That's the goal!!! Still no word on getting off the morphine and his morning meds are almost two hours late. Gotta love nursing inservices!

Sorry it's taken so long for me to post, but I've been keeping up to date and on the fantastic progress (thanks for the updates by the way). The new pictures look just great! It's soo awesome to hear that he's doing so well, and you're seeing signs of his "normal" self :) Keep the updates coming, can't wait to hear the good news that he's being released and you're on your way home. Sending huge hugs and continued prayers from Omaha.
Love, Caryn and family

Hi Guys!
Thanks for the awesome pictures. This sure does resemble "little boy business" to me! I know you are relieved, but will be so much more so when you get to go home.
Praise God!
Love you all!
