Day +35

I was wrong. The nasal wash results didn't come back this morning; they're still pending. So, still on isolation.

Zoe's day was packed with entertainment. This morning she had a lovely visit from a folk singer named Betty Bender who sang and played her guitar, three volunteers came to play with her at different times, she was visited by the music therapist David, and two different occupational therapists came to work with her--one for swallowing with bottle feeds, the other for tummy time. She ate it all up.

I think this girl might go through a little center-of-attention withdrawal once she checks out of here. Well, no doubt we all will for that matter!

I got to escape with a girlfriend for lunch at a nearby sushi place, and do a little birthday shopping for my main man. His birthday is next Tuesday, March 3rd--and will be his second in a row spent at Seattle Children's hospital. Last year's birthday marked the first of many diagnostic procedures (her first MRI) and the beginning of six months of endless searching in our quest to figure out what was wrong with Zoe.

I'm holding out the vision that Jeff's NEXT birthday (and a milestone year for that matter) will be a rocking celebration on many levels and held nowhere close to Seattle Children's!
