Over the weekend Alyssa and Gavin were able to use their special second pass to see their brother. He's been in the hospital for nearly 5 months now and they've only been able to see him twice. They made sure to take advantage of the time they had there, we played together for over an hour.
Last time they were able to see him they were afraid. But I can't blame them, he had an IV and was on CPAP. This time he wasn't hooked up to as many things and was able to play on the floor with them. Gavin had a pretty short attention span and soon resorting to playing hopscotch on Hunter's floor mat, but Alyssa had a lot of fun with him.
Alyssa was able to hold him for a little while (with Nurse's assistance). She had planned on singing him three songs, but she ended up singing one bonus song for him. He really enjoyed listening to his sister sing for him, he was extremely attentive the whole time she sang. His playlist that day consisted of Itsy Bitsy Spider, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Alphabet Song, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Alyssa also remembered a picture that she had drawn for him. We delivered it the last time they came to visit him, it's been hanging on his wall ever since. Before we delivered it Mommy wrote a note for Hunter on the picture. Alyssa saw the note and was angry that someone had colored on her drawing... she blamed it on Nurse though.

Awwwww, how sweet! I'm sure Hunter really enjoyed the time with his brother and sister. Just think...soon he will get to enjoy them everyday!!
Love you all,

I would have loved to see the kids reaction when they saw Hunter. I bet it was so nice having all the kids together. It is amazing that Hunter can play on the floor and everything with them. He is so amazing! Love you all!
Maybe the next time Alyssa and Gavin visit, they could teach Hunter about playing in the lockers......you're welcome :)
Aunt Jude,
They still do that every time we visit. Alyssa likes to climb in there then when she comes out she's usually at Chuck E Cheese. She says "Hi Daddy at Chuck E Cheese!"
Gavin likes to get in the locker, shut the door, then scream.
