“Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride, nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no, I got to keep on movin'!”

Back in the children’s hospital we are. Things are going as well as can be expected. Sarai is charming everyone with her strawberry toes and her winning smile.

(She keeps taking her gauze headwrap off, but she sure wears those electrodes well!)

They hooked her up to the EEG yesterday, and after about an hour of blood curdling screams (mostly from her, only a couple from me), it was on and she was comfortable. I brought her baby-gym with us to try to keep her happy and that seems to be working out well.

Sarai has been eating some kind of solid food 3x a day for a while now. I tried scrambled eggs this morning, not sure if she liked them or not, but I got a little bit down. That’s pretty much my goal when we try anything new.

Dr. James is very optimistic, but hasn’t looked at the EEG yet. He came in last night and talked to her from her bedside, she looked right up at him and started smiling and cooing. He said she looks a LOT more visually attentive than she did even a couple weeks ago when he saw her last. We’re planning on getting the EEG off tomorrow around 2 and heading home soon after then. The EEG won’t be read until after we leave.

We're looking forward to being home and back into our routine, before we ruin it again with a 12 hour road trip!  Duke/NC/Amy & Kevin/Cindy & Justin... here we come!

(Sarai has a new cousin!  Adam's sister, Sharon, had a baby girl today, Avery!  We can't wait to meet her!)
