Doctor Layla

When we went to visit my mom in the hospital the other night (she's home now) we had to wear masks due to her low white blood cell count. Layla didn't have to wear a mask, we just had to keep her on the other side of the room, but she wanted to try one on when we got home. She looks like a little pink surgeon:-).

Layla discovered her thumb/hand a couple of weeks ago. She doesn't always get the thumb in her mouth--sometimes it's just her wrist or other fingers, but she seems to really like that.

Also, I baby-sit my nephew, Gavin, one day a week now. Elvis and him are buddies.
Elvis helps Gavin get toys out of his bag...


And Elvis waits for Gavin to drop food on the floor so that Elv can eat it up...


Also, Joe's good friend/neighbor from growing up (Ryan DeYoung) was in a very serious car accident last night. I don't have many details, but please just keep him and his family in your prayers.

Hey! How is Ryan doing? Ya know, I knew the name sounded familiar. Maybe I met him through Joe at some point? Anyway, I heard some of the details last night from a girl whose friend was at the Barn that night. Hope he's doing okay! We'll keep him (and Joe) in our prayers!

He is making progress, but still is in critical condition in the surgical ICU at Spectrum. He's on a ventilator, has a closed head injury, partially collapsed lungs, fractured pelvis and multiple fractured ribs (I got all that from their carepage). So he's in rough shape, but doing better than yesterday!

Hey - I was reading your Blog! I was at the barn on the wednesday night that ryan was at the barn. It's sad about the accident. Luckly it was him only and no noe else. Drinking and Driving is Horrible.
