Sunday Evening, 2/17/08

The last five days have been, as a whole, very good. It's so comforting to have Nathan back home, although Christa has her hands full playing the stay-at-home nurse. We had a couple unnerving nights with more allergic reactions. The second one was enough to have the nurse practitioner decide to take him off the multivitamin IV altogether. This has been a blessing in disguise. Now we "only" have three pumps to deal with.

Nathan has responded very well to being home, better than we ever expected. He seems to simultaneously be getting over the terrible twos. Coincidentally, his third birthday was today. Although we had to bypass any cake or ice cream, we had fun blowing out a candle (on a plate) and opening his gifts. Here are some pictures from the last few days. Note the haircut, his first in six months. Hardly looks like the same boy.

Jason and Christa,

Great photos of the birthday boy. By looking at these photos, you would never know what trauma he has been through in the last 6 months. He looks FANTASTIC :)

I know you are enjoying being at home and watching Nathan get reacquainted with all of his surroundings and his loving family.

Enjoy your time together, and keep up the good work !!

P.S. I forgot to thank Baxter for spending many nights and days guarding the house alone - good job, Bax ...


Love to all of you and many sweet dreams,

Grandma Sherry

Dear Jason & Christa,

Just returned from India/Nepal and what a wonderful surprise to get both your nice note and these GREAT PICTURES. Too bad he isn't happy! Grandma Linda reports he has so much energy that you have him dusting and cleaning house!! Love it and love you all
