Visitors

We had a few visitors today!! Brett Weber one of Luie's good friends from the neighborhood and school, who is familiar with CMH himself. Kids under the age of 18 aren't allowed to visit, but other patients, is a bit of a loop hole. He is an out patient but we went and met him in the teen center, so no rules broken and Luie got to visit with a friend, and it was a great motivation for him to walk. He did get a little tired, the walk was a bit long so he boosted his painkillers so it wouldn't hurt.
We also had elves visit with gifts. Notice his Cubs hat? Apparently there was a patient here before during Christmas that felt sad that kids did not get presents here during Christmas so he comes back with elves and tons of gifts for kids of all ages.
Luie walked back to his room from his visit with Brett and found Meagan, his cousin and Michael another cousin, waiting for us. Together we all played Pictionary. We tried The game of Life, but it was complicated, so we switched. He loved having so many special people around him. He just wants to know who is next?
He's sleeping now. He had a very busy afternoon. Walking, bathing, sitting, playing games, and practicing his breathing. I think I need a nap.
ZZzzzz......

  1. Luie,
    It sounds like you are doing so well!! We've been thinking about you. I told Addy you were sick and she said "put a band aid on your leg." That should help, right?? She just keeps telling me about how we will go get you a band aid to help you feel better :-) We send our love...in our own strange, Addy way!! Love you, Luie!! Ms. Averett and Addy

It's BEN and I'm SO happy to hear that you finally got to see a friend in the hospital, not that I'm saying your family is boring or anything, but you just needed to talk with someone. I just can't wait for you to get better and come back home for christmas!!! We'll have such a BLAST together!!!

  12. Hi Luie,
    Just wanted to say hi and that I'm thinking of you. I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit, but its really hard with Molly. I tell Papi to tell you each time he comes to give you a big hug and kiss. Molly is looking at your pics with me here and asking about your friend and your cousins. She's asking over and over again, "Where's Luie's friend? That's Luie's cousin." She's funny. She wants to know what's in your nose. She misses you too and I hope you are doing good today and the pain is lessening every day. I love you buddy!
    Love,
    Cherie
