Jenn Re: We're back!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the pep talk! He did get a fridge for the room- helps a

lot! I'll have to tell him about monitors. On top of it all, Lucas

is sick and he had to take him to the hospital- turns out he has bad

cold and an ear infection. This morning I could hear him in the

background coughing and he had a high pitched stridor between coughs-

scared me! But I guess that just comes and goes. Brad sounds tired

too!

He drove and I made sure he took the stroller so he can leave

anytime. Plus, my father in law is going to show up tomorrow, so I'm

sure they'll go out to eat or something. He won't be any help with

the baby, but it'll be good just to have someone there.

He's been checking the board and & haven't shown up

yet.

Tomorrow's the day! I can't wait to see what Dr. Ponseti has to say.

This is only the first cast, but I think I remember the first one

showing the most change.
