You Think That's a Commentary On Us?

The roller coaster ride continues for young Master Jayne and his two supplicants.  After the initial chain pull up and up and up we encountered several loops and corkscrews, throwing us one way, then the other.  At times we felt completely weightless and at other times, entirely too dense.  After finally making it through the more intense and technical portions of the track, we could almost see the station off in the distance.  Just a few rolling hills, a curve here and there, and then we'd be scot-free.  Yesterday, it seemed like we were climbing to be level with said station but it seems we aren't quite done yet.  In addition to the cold that two out of three of us have, his ANC has dropped back down to 72.  His immune system, I feel, is toying with us.  There have been more dramatic falls and rises than a Mexican soap opera.  Hopefully his long lost twin doesn't show up in the next couple days.

The nurse was quick to reassure us that this has no real bearing on our prospects for leaving soon.  Sure it went down 28 today but it did jump up fifty yesterday, so it's really anyone's guess.  His cold is still chugging along but it isn't really affecting him for the most part.  He is getting a bit crankier later in the day and he woke up a few more times last night than is his norm.  I've hinted and cajoled that both mother and son need to partake in some much needed nap time.  We'll see if my advice is taken in this matter.

Other than that, everything is as it was.  Another day of the same ole same.  Plenty of tummy time so far, plenty of drooling over toys, and, of course, smiling at the nurses.  He's still determined to get this crawling thing down; reverse is still his favorite gear but he is becoming more and more adept at turning himself to face whichever direction he pleases.  Hopefully, soon, the direction he faces is "out".
