Wednesday, August 13, 2008 4:03 PM EDT Hi Everyone -
Alex got back from camp last night. He had a wonderful time this year and really liked his counselor. He told me that he didn't want to come home and that he didn't miss me but then he asked to snuggle :-)
We went to Georgetown today. Everything looks good except that Alex got a cold at camp and his throat is still inflamed and his ears won't pop. They were going to put him on a stronger antibiotic at camp and then they didn't so his doctor told us to start it today. Next month we're going to be at Duke when Alex is scheduled to go to Georgetown so we'll go back to Georgetown in October.
Last week our friends and fellow transplant family the Binghams were visiting. Alex was bummed that he missed them but is looking forward to seeing them next year. We had a good time and wished that we lived closer so we could see them more often.
Steve put up some new pictures so check them out. If you look at the picture of Emily closely you'll notice that the life vest doesn't fit quite right. We couldn't figure the darn thing out and at the end of our stay in Maine, Brooke's cousin informed us that it was his dog's life vest. We all got quite a laugh out of that one. We told Emily she could start barking!
We hope everyone is enjoying summer. Thanks for checking in on us and don't forget to sign the guestbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill, Steve, Alex and Emily
