Company from Maine

Camden is settling back into life on the 10th floor very well. he is weaning off his doses of Morphine and Maddie and I were able to hold him more over the last few days. He is such a joy to watch, looking around his room and trying to figure out what Maddie is all about. He is still working on that one! He even puts a little weight on his legs! But overall, he loves to nestle by my neck and have snuggle time! That is the best!!
We had special company too... Aunt Alice and Uncle Steve! They drove down from Old Town to spend the weekend with us while Andy was at home working. They also were able to spend time holding Camden, playing with Maddie, and seeing south Boston. Maddie and I then rode back to Maine with them for a few days of rest at home, just in time for a whopper of a snowstorm Monday. It has been predicted we will get 12 to 18 inches of the white stuff! We can't wait! Maddie loves to play in the snow. We are heading back to Boston Wednesday after I have a checkup with my OB.
We are just waiting for his GI series on Monday to check the surgeon's fine work, and see if he is ready to start (ever so slowly!!) to be fed through his J tube. Hopefully we will the get the OK and he will actually get a few cc's of feed! Keep your fingers crossed.

Glad to hear he's continuing to get better!! I miss you all already, and can't wait to see pictures of Maddie playing in the snow!! Tell Maddie that Auntie Jana and cousin Julia miss her and love her, and the same to Camden when you get back down to Boston.
Love,
Jana

Good Morning
Jana only beat me by 40 minutes making her post. Auntie Nancy here and I'm getting ready to fly off to Dallas for a day - but I'll be back to snowy NJ on Tues afternoon. Thanks for the update and we're sure all will go well with the tests so feeds can begin. We can't wait to get back up this Friday to see how much he's changed in 4 weeks!
Love, Flo & Nancy
