We had a fun day putting Ezra’s first outfit on. We had a chance to take lots of pictures of the cute boys!

Atreyu’s favorite thing is to poke at his brother and being tickled by the nurses.

Today was one of the good days, but we still can’t wait to go home.
Today Ezra had one of his regular weekend nurses and we went out to the children’s museum with Atreyu. The Renucci house has a pass we were able to use and its just a couple of blocks away. Atreyu had tons of fun and we had fun watching him. There is nothing new to report on Ezra, he’s continuing to do well.
For the past 25 days we have been staying at the Renucci Hospitality House. It has been very convenient because it connected to the hospital. This is good and bad because you never have to go outside, and you never go outside. They have a nice kitchen where we can prepare our meals and many service groups serve meals to all the guests. Laundry is onsite and they even have a playroom where Atreyu can get out some energy. Apart from that it is a lot like living in a hotel room, which gets old even if you are on vacation.
My work space is kind of cramped but I at least have a window and am able to be productive 40+ hours a week. As much as we long for our own house we are grateful for such wonderful accommodations.
Lauren talked to the plastic surgeon today about when we could have the rest of the Doctors do their consultations. He said that the wound is starting to blister a little, which is a normal part of the healing process, so he has to stay off his back for now. We are still hopeful that by the end of next week we might be able to get those doctors to see Ezra.
Ezra seems to be stronger now then ever, he is recovering so well from the shunt surgery. We can feel the pressure relief in his head, which has got to be a good feeling for him. Since I work a lot during the week, I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with Ezra this weekend.
