Fruit!

The good news of the day is that Santi can now eat fruit in addition to drinking clear liquids. He has enjoyed watermelon, grapes, an apple and half a banana so far today. Although he's still begging for "cookies," which in his world are actually graham crackers. 

Other good news is that his X-ray looked really good today. Still nice and clear. 

The not so good news is that they are being extra cautious with him. No sudden movements. Which means we are looking at another week or so in the hospital. They want to start food and wean IV diuretics very, very slowly. This is so we don't end up back here again. 

With the holidays rapidly approaching, I can't help but feel sad not to be able to participate in all of the festivities. I don't know if I'll get to send out Christmas cards or if Santi will get a photo with Santa. Maybe we'll do a Happy New Year card this year instead. 

July 4th

Santiago experienced fireworks for the first time on the forth of July. He got to stay up later than usual and it was worth it to hear him say "WOW!!!"
