Eating again

Yesterday, the ban on food was lifted for Anthony.
He threw his chew toy, the Q, on the floor, and chugged his sippy cup first.

That was when everyone was visiting.

He was tired and fussing when they got ready to go back to Nana's.

He was ecstatic to have french fries again.

A fry in one hand, a crayon in the other...could anything be better?!

Oh wait, a BUNCH of crayons in his hands!

Anthony had the BIGGEST smile when I let him pick the crayons out of the box himself.

Telling me all about it, hand motions and all.

Everyone came to visit today again.

We had just been moved to a bigger room, because a child in isolation needed the private room we had been in.

The cancer floor is pretty empty (although you all would think it full), so even though we're in a big, triple room now, it's unlikely we'll get a roommate today or tomorrow...
It was really nice for the children to have more room to move around in.

Here are pictures of what they did while here.

Anthony wanted to hold Andy's hand while I fed him.

He was just so excited to have his daddy there.

You can see the BIG construction out of 2 of our room windows. (there are 3 windows in here)

Anthony was helping clean his face...then EATING the wipe...hmm.

If you look closely, you can see the Space Needle through this window.

It was raining and maybe a little foggy that direction, but it's there!

Wanting Daddy to eat his fingers.

McDonald's french fries in a McNugget container!

My family is on their way back home. :(

We had fun visiting with them. :)

Anthony loves them all, and so do I. <3

Anthony REALLY LOVES his McDonalds french fries.

Rounds--more of the same, Tuesday will be PICC line placement and TEE (trans-esophageal echo to look at his heart from a different angle. It sounds like if the infection is growing on the patch in Anthony's heart, they'd do a certain antibiotic for a long time, I think.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who are praying, fasting, and thinking good thoughts for us today. I am truly humbled by all that has happened with us, but also by the outpouring of love and support.
