February 19 - A room with a view!

When we went to visit Oliver last night we found that he had moved to the other side of the room...right next to the window! It has been unusually sunny here in Seattle, and it's nice having the natural light in our room. Oliver also got a bigger bed! I think he's schmoozing the nurses ;)

Oliver started steroids last night, but he was still a little snooze puppy this morning. He will probably have more periods of being awake after the steroids are in his system. His stools are clear of blood and he was allowed a small amount of breast milk this morning. If he tolerates it well he will be allowed to eat more and more! On Friday all of the doctors and specialists who have been watching Oliver will be meeting with us to see how he's responding to the steroids and decide how to further treat Oliver. He still falls short of being diagnosed with anything, but there are some things on the table that can't be ruled out...we will see where the conversation leads us on Friday.

Yesterday my brother Jonathon and his friend Stephanie came to visit Oliver. I think Oliver was happy to meet them :)

Stephanie and Oliver

Jack and Jillian have aged considerably since we've been gone. Their teacher recently sent me this picture of them in their 100's. Poor Jillian is missing all of her teeth, but they appear to be happy and that's what truly matters!
