Good morning! Alex had a bit of a rough night last night...his temp got up to 102, but they were able to bring it down by early this morning. Mostly, it meant that he did not sleep much and is very tired. He's trying to get some sleep now and it feels like to me that his temp is normal (although I have not yet perfected the mom kiss-to-the-forehead thermometer yet). Carol stayed the night last night and was no doubt a fantastic nurse. Sometimes all you need is your momma :).
I was able to go get some sleep at the hospitality house that we are staying at last night. It's about 20 minutes or so from the clinic in a suburb of Cleveland. Cleveland-area families volunteer their houses for patients and their family's to stay before, during and after doctor's visits and hospital stays. It is so nice to have a place to get a quick shower and a few hours of some good quality sleep. We are so blessed to be staying with very sweet and caring people named Gloria and John. They also have a wonderful dog named Molly who greets you with a nudge for some petting as soon as you walk in the door. She's very gentle and reminds me a lot of Rusty.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July and we will update with some pictures of Alex walking soon! Love to you all :)

Gena and Alex, The 4th will have added meaning for us now. Beginning to be independent from illness. We are so glad both of you are so tough and that your faith is so strong......hmmm, there may be a connection there. So mean people praying and caring is certainly key. Please give our regards to your host family and give Carol a special hug from us. Alex, we know you'll keep fighting and listening to your wife/doctor. Enjoy this day and every day and make sure little Jimmy (or Jimmie, if she's a girl) stays healthy. Love you all.

HAPPY 4th of JULY to you ALL!
We "oooed and awed" last night here in Greenwich.
My hospital holiday was Memorial Day in 2008. I had a picnic in my bed with Rachel, Beth, her sister & husband who brought hot dogs, flags and potato salad, with flags to wave!
It's the little things that make life special.
Thinking of YOU!
Sounds like everything is going good for Alex-we are thinking of both of you and quick recovery-
Love you grandma & papa
Happy 4th Gena and Alex. It is raining in Edmond right now so no fireworks. We need the rain more. I'm glad to hear that Alex is doing okay. I'm sure it was a little scary about the fever, but sounds like he responded well to bringing it down. Can't wait to see the pictures of his walking...love you both.
