Slow but steady

Our good friends Victor and Iris visited us at the hospital last night. Their little boy, Tobias, was with Conner in the NICU during our stay in December. It was good to see them again and know that adorable little Tobias is doing so well.

It has been a few days since we posted. Conner is still on the ventillator, but is improving slowly. His upper lobe on the right lung has taken a while to open up. His left lung collapsed on Friday, so he still needs positive pressure from the vent to keep oxygen saturation levels up. Presented are a few tidbits from previous days.

The fountain located in the center of the hospital is always relaxing to visit. Our neighbors and friends sent this edible boquette. It was a great surprise when we got back in after midnight a few nights ago. Thanks, neighbors west.

The center of the hospital is open-air. The flowers are beautiful. A welcome distraction.

This video documents Conner under sedation where the only appendage that works is his foot. He loves caressing the lion with his toes. This has become a favorite past time during his waking moments.

I am flying home today. Leaving Sariah and Conner was not fun. It was good to spend the last few weeks with Sariah though. There is sunshine even during the storm.
