Just a quick note today:

Michael is still recovering nicely from his illness. We have decided that, unless he takes a turn for the worse, we will try to visit Front Royal tomorrow. The nurse will be arriving here at 7:30 to help mom get all the "just in case" equipment in the car, along with the baby and all his usual stuff. Should be fun, although I will miss helping Adam at the booth. Hope it doesn't rain!

Anyway, Michael still goes through periods of loud vocal sounds. Yesterday he did it to nurse Angie while she was holding him and warming a bottle in the kitchen, and she was so surprised she almost dropped him! (She says she now understands why I was so alarmed last Friday -- it is unnerving to hear him the first few times.) He doesn't do it unless he is trying pretty hard, which generally means that he is upset, but he can do it.

Most of the time, though, Michael spends his day smiling and (I think) giggling. I do wish I could hear him, though. I'll bet it sounds pretty cute.

Thanks to all of you that have been sending gifts and cards and bringing food. As my sister says on her CarePage, there is so much comfort we get from your notes on the Message Board and your thoughtfulness. It really, really does make a difference.

I hope we'll see some of you tomorrow. Send your friends over so Adam doesn't have to pack too much stuff when he comes home!!

Best, Megan, Adam and Michael.
