Yesterday we got a little surprise from Annabella. She decided that maybe she was only having a little trouble with her belly. The x-rays were looking a little better and the doctors had good things to say about her progress. She's still going to be on some antibiotics for a few days but her condition did improve a little. That's good news.

We also brought in a big Dr. Seuss book that we leave near her bed. We take turns reading her some stories. She seems to really like them. I think today we're going to the thrift stores to pick up a few more books - yeah! When we're not reading to her directly we leave¹ a digital recorder with her nurses. It plays something from both me and the mamma.

I'll see what I can do about some more pictures. Sometimes it's a little tricky getting a good picture, as you can see, but I'll see what I can do.

¹ We're actually still working out some of the replay settings but we're really close to having this in place.
