Day 8: TV and Games

Yesterday, day 8, AJ took to riding a toy tractor around the halls (28 laps), watching TV and playing Rush Hour with Mom. AJ talked to David on the phone for awhile and video chatted with Justin. He continues to feel good so we are working hard to keep up with him. His full appetite is returning as well. Yesterday he ate spaghetti, Cheetos, tacos, and all sorts of snacks. The doctors are going to start moving AJ to oral medications, and limiting his IV fluid intake. All of these things are good signs for an eventual release from the hospital, although that is still weeks away. As always they caution us everything could change very quickly so we remain optimistic and very happy, but also very cautious. Hoping today is another uneventful day!
