The Yellow People

Tegegne,

What a wild ride we've had! Thanks for hanging in there and being a good sport. I'm sorry that our first 8 days together have been so dramatic! We are here at Children's Mercy Hospital where you are quite afraid of the yellow people. We are in a special room where all the doctors and nurses come in with masks and yellow outfits. You've had quite a few tests done by these yellow people, and I understand your fear of them. Luckily your pops and I have remained your safe haven. If your fever spikes again, they will do another series of tests. If not, we go home sooner. That probably still means another few days here. Once the test results come back negative for measles, the yellow people will stop being so suited up. And your visitors will not have to be in masks. We get your TB test results tomorrow at 5 pm. We will see more infectious disease doctors tomorrow.

You've been a popular guy here with lots of sweet visitors. The security man is determined to pronounce your name since you are having many guests. Thanks Tracy, Jan, and Grant for being T's first hospital visitors even though they wouldn't let you see him. Thanks to Grama Debby for the errands, the laundry, the doggie sitting, and your time. Thank you 360 via Jessie & G for dinner tonight. Thanks Jessie and G for hanging out with us. Thanks Andie and Bob for breakfast. Thanks for the visit Nana and Gpa Mike. Thanks for stopping by Aunt Donna, Josh, Marie Anne, Michael, and Anne. Thanks to the rest of you for your calls, your prayers, and your support. We really appreciate your kindness.

Right now I'm thinking about how the decor in our hospital room could be improved, along with the layout of the room and the furniture. I'm also thinking about what a sweet little guy you are Tegegne, and how great it is to see you on your daddy's lap. In a few days they will unhook you from all of those cords, okay.

Here comes another yellow person to check on your breathing. Hang in there buddy.

We love you.

Mommy and Ababa
