A good day....really good!

I was able to spend more time with SethMan today! We had fun! He looks really good and all the nurses have commented on what fun he is now. Apparently he was getting a rather negative reputation! :) They all love him, but he can be a stinker and they are all excited to see him happy and nice. Today we played and played and played. We had fun playing hospital bingo...something you should all try one day. Also we had marker fights and colored all over the "big" white board. We played cars, or rather Seth chucked them across the room and laughed at me getting them; over and over and over again! There was time spent at the window watching the tractor work again and getting some actual sun shining on us. Grandma Bollschweiler came to take the "afternoon" shift and reported lots and lots of play time too! She also said that there were gifts dropped off from Darin's work and they made Seth very very happy. It is always fun to have something new! Thanks whoever you were that brought those, they are priceless!

He had a very positive blood count today, up to 200, from yesterday's 0! That combined with his over-all look and strength have lead to talks of SethMan going home for a few days. This is exciting news for Mom and Dad....I don't think Seth can be told anything until he is actually out in the car! Also, Seth started eating a little tonight. I don't know the outcome of that, but he was eating a sucker and some shortbread cookies, yummy!

Thank you as always for the prayers, they are felt by all and we are SO grateful that our Heavenly Father is hearing them and answering them. We couldn't do this without Him and all the support around us!

PS: as for the question from yesterday's comment, yes, for the most part he is doing what they expect....however you can't anticipate infections and what type so the surprise is what type, not the actual infections! Thanks for your prayer SKW, we love you!
