C'mon In!

Kean had a hot date today, make that a play date-- with one of his first friends on this earth, Emily. Emily and Kean were in NICU together. Emily's twin, Nadia passed away at St. Luke's and little Emily who was a "micro" preemie fought her way through Intensive Care and is now 18 months old. She lives in Hailey, ID but had a specialist appointment today in Boise. So Emily and her mom, my very dear friend and sounding board, Kelly spent the morning with us. I'm not sure Kean was very aware of Miss Em, and he did have pants on to greet her (we took them off for therapy). Isn't she a cutie?

Their visit went by all too quickly. Lucky for us, Emily will have more doctors appointments in Boise.

Kean, by the way, is getting stronger and stronger. He may not be able to run around like Emily, but his trunk muscles are building and he's able to sit for longer periods of time. And just last night, he was on his tummy and scooted back about two feet until his legs were under the couch. Our little mild mannered sweet boy sure let us know he did not like being trapped!

As always, Reese can't leave Kean alone. I swear I spend half of his therapy sessions telling Reese that it's Maureen's turn to play with him. Thankfully, Maureen is the master of patience.
