News from the Children's hospital - We are still awaiting some final blood tests, but at this time they believe Mikey simply has a cold or flu bug, and that his fever is due to the infection.  They have been treating him with antibiotics, and are hoping that he can be released on Friday the 28th.

Mike and Deb spent most of the day and all night with Mikey, and we kept the rest of the kids at the house with us.

Today's photos will be a long one, I took a bunch of pics at the hospital, and also one Quicktime movie.

On our way tothe Austin Children's Hospital, Victoria fell asleep.  I don't know HOW that oculd be comfortable...

But we arrived safely, and went inside to find Mikey.  Here's some of the interesting art throughout the visitor's area -

When we arrived, everyone was in the room hanging out and watching tv.

Mikey was hanging out in his bed -

He had a tube inserted for the antibiotics, and it was hurting his hand.

He did seem glad that we all came to see him however.

But the kids were having fun playing and eating Mikey's extra Graham crackers...

Here's Michele and Jason...

Mike fed Mikey his dinner -

So for fun, I made a short Quicktime video using the new camera.  Use this link to play it.  You will need Apple Quicktime to view it...

Here's Alex and Tori having fun in the window...

And ythe gang continued to play -

But before we left, some of the kids drew pictures for Mikey to keep while he was there...

Grandma treated us all to Whataburger for dinner, and we got ready to watch movies and play Monopoly 2000...

David was winning by far, with more hotels and houses than the rest, plus he controlled Boardwalk and Park Place...

Here's a shot of the board - it's prismatic when it reflects light -

Victoria was playing kitten again, and had fuzzy slippers on her hands and feet -
