Sunday, 9/11
Dinky had a pretty good weekend. He had the sweetest little play periods but in between he had some rough patches. However nowhere near the "rough" of the old days. These seem to be normal baby rough. I think that he's teething. It's so hard to know for sure but he is drooling a lot and his gums are pretty pale. And on top of that his little bum is very raw and irritated. It is SO painful for him during diaper changes. I had to let the nurse do it today because it just killed me to be causing his pain. Interestingly, our nurse today said that her kid's rumps got like that right before they cut a tooth. So...maybe that's what's going on.
His personality is developing more and more each day and he is such a funny boy. His big, gummy smile has started to change. Now he has a funny little grin that reminds me of the "Joker" from Batman. It's especially cute when he crinkles his nose along with it. I know it's nice for so many of the staff at CHOP who saw him through such rough times to get to experience his joy. I can't wait until we can visit our friends at RWJ so they can have the same experience. They saw him through the hardest time of all.

Checking the blog for news of the three of you has been so much a part of my daily routine for these many months. Being away from computer access all last week was really, really tough, and it was with great joy and relief that I caught up with dear Dinky last night at Ma and Pa's. He is certainly a little ham and photogenic as well. I am so happy the progress is up hill again. love....

Dinky, I just knew you could do it! I am so proud of you (and your momma and poppa) for being so strong and courageous. I can't wait to see you again and see that wonderful smile up close.
On another note, I hope you all don't get upset with me for asking for a wee favor, but I feel like we have all become a family of sorts through this blog...I know that we have all kept Jen and Martin and Edison in our daily prayers and I hope it is ok if I ask you to add my mom, Barbara, to your list tonight. Mom took quite a fall at her house this morning and is in hospital with a broken foot and two broken vertebrae. We think she will be ok in time, but it sure is tough right now.
Love, Sue
Sue,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mom's fall. Of course we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
We love you!
Jen, Martin and Edison
