It was an extremely busy day today. Aunt Beth, Uncle Steve and Aunt Jennifer met us at the house this morning to hang out with Trevor for a little while. He made everyone laugh with more cupcake hat. We still need to take pictures with Beth, Steve and Trevor before they leave!

Here’s Jen with little cupcake cutie:

Then we all went to the hospital to see Brendan while Bill stayed home with Trevor. I was very impressed with how well Brendan did today with all the company. They got to go in and see him one at a time, and while it was mostly hands-off, he was pretty relaxed and did not get agitated. He looked a lot better, aside from the fact that he got his feeding tube out of his nose again last night.

He had a new fancy blanket on his bed today, with a note that it was made by a local boy scout troop.

They only think that this elaborate new taping will keep the feeding tube in, they obviously don’t know Brendan very well!

Aunt Beth and Brendan, she was one of the lucky ones and actually got a smile from him!

Aunt Jen and Brendan, he mostly slept while she was visiting.

Uncle Steve talks to Brendan, he was pretty wide awake and found Steve to be interesting.

Steve definitely had Brendan’s attention

Unfortunately our visit was interrupted by a phone call to Bill from the other hospital. His dad was in very bad shape and they thought the family should come quickly. I dropped the other three off at the door and flew home as quickly as I could so Bill could go be with him. (Thanks Christine for coming by so quick so Bill could go!)
It was a scary afternoon, but Grandpa Jack pulled through and was stable again tonight. An adjustment to his new pacemaker and a heavy dose of Lasix brought him around. He was so close to leaving the hospital today to move to a skilled care facility for rehab, we are glad he had not been discharged yet!

It is 9PM and we are finally making some dinner, Trevor is in his pack n play having a very extensive conversation with his mobile. He seriously LOVES that thing.
