Day 20 - Feeling Better (and Missing Milo)

Today they told us that they are taking out a stomach tube! He is eating well and they are going to take one tube out a day. 

We miss him dearly. Staying away for a stuffy nose is really hard. I haven't gotten sick yet which is great, I've been taking vitamin c and echinacea consistently and resting a lot. Shelly is feeling mostly better but still stuffy and sneezing occasionally. 

We have found that our time here seems very pointless without being able to visit Milo. We wake up and basically just dawdle until bedtime with movies, games, and stepping out for groceries and food as needed. It would be a good way to relax if we didn't miss Milo so much.

We entertain ourselves by comparing pictures of Milo and Shelly and Llupus as babies. We thought that his dark hair, sideburns, and hairy back and shoulders came from Llupus and his button nose came from Shelly but when looking at baby photos, Llupus didn't have a lot of dark hair and he did have a similar nose and Shelly's family is known for having lots of dark hair when first born.
