Eli's Girl

Finally! I was able to get to the hospital early enough to catch the doctor making his rounds. He said Eli is responding well to everything. We're just waiting for his counts to drop and come back up. Of course Eli asked him how many more days did he have to be in here and the doctor just kinda smiled. I told Eli to stop trying to back Dr. B into a corner on when he could get out, just rest and get better.

Elijah has now decided he wants to ride his bike twice a day and I brought him some handweights to work with too. Yesterday was a good day for him because he got to see the boys. It was Evan's 8th birthday so I decided to surprise Eli by bringing the boys and my dad to the hospital so he could see their faces. Evan had commented last week, when Elijah's transplant was originally scheduled for 2/27, that even though we'd be postponing a birthday celebration with his friends at least he'd get to spend time with his dad. So when the schedule changed and I knew Eli would already be hospitalized on Evan's b'day I wanted to make sure they got see each other. Since Eli's number hadn't started dropping the nurses said it was okay.

The next few days will start to get a little rough. But the sooner that happens the sooner we can begin getting him back on his feet.

Let me run. I'll be back in a few days!

Thank you again for your prayers and help!
