Day +47: A very nice day

Mina Brigitta had an excellent day today. She woke up at 8 AM and we sat and drew babies for almost two hours. She had about 15 bites of oatmeal this morning, and was interactive and having fun all day long. Her skin rash doesn't seem to be spreading or perhaps is spreading very very slowly. They aren't planning to change her treatment in any event, and the rest of her skin continues to heal. I took some great pictures of Mina and Isaac sitting in the chair together tonight, which I will try to figure out how to share quickly.

As for Bubba, he's doing great. I haven't written about him in a while, but he's become a very social and snuggly little guy. He's constantly chattering to himself or anyone who will listen, and he's saying "Momma", "Dadda" and "Num-num". He *loves* to eat solid food, practically lunging at the spoon before you can get it to his mouth. It doesn't agree with him that well, unfortunately, as Keri says he's had some nights where he was up with what appeared to be stomach pain. He comes up to the hospital every day around noon with his Anta, Grandma, or whoever is here. Then he spends the rest of the day here in the room. He has definitely charmed the nursing staff here on 7 Long. He sometimes gets taken out for excursions in the hallway. He's had a great time bonding with his Antas and Grandparents, but I think he misses his Dadda. Unfortunately, on workdays I only get to see him for a few minutes a day.
