update

i am getting the first notices that there is no update yet....i am sorry! thought everybody would be enjoying their weekend somewhere in the lovely countryside and not checking their mails and blog. we got held up by a lovely family who visited us here in the hospital all the way from Los Angeles. Thomas has been operated 3 times on his heart area ( also unifocalisation ) by Dr. Hanley and is here in Palo Alto for a gymnastics contest. so inspiring to see such a charming and vibrant young boy with lots of enthusiam and strength. so we hope cara took a good look at her future! anyway, her chest tube drainage is on 41 today which is great, but we do not want to get our hopes too high as in all likelyhood it will be high again tomorrow. so we are playing the waiting game for now...waiting for the rain to stop ( permanently the last 3 days )....waiting for bobbies.....
