Baltimore: Day 46 (September 1)

Well, the month of August has come and gone and we are still in Room 660, Bed 2 of Johns Hopkins Children's Center. Robbie is now free of all but two foreign objects, an IV and his feeding tube. We got the SP Tube out tonight, so everything from the surgery is now removed but we are still stuck in here because of these dang fevers that he has been getting since we got to the 6th floor. Because of the fevers they are going to do a MRI tomorrow to see if there is something in there causing these fevers that they can't see. Hopefully after the MRI we will be able to get out of here before the weekend is over.

Robbie had a pretty good day today though, being held and getting his first wagon ride in about two months. We were able to just cruise around the 6th floor and check things out. They said we could go outside, but we thought we would wait until it was closer to our departure so he isn't going crazy in his crib, wanting to go outside all the time. We know how he is at home and don't want him getting too upset if he doesn't get his way.

If anyone is planning on coming to Baltimore this weekend, for any reason, you might want to add 30-45 minutes to any drive you have because traffic is out of control. They are having the first ever Grand Prix here for INDY cars and have blocked off most of downtown, which reroutes traffic now by the Ronald McDonald House and makes it absolute gridlock.

I am trying to get some before and after pictures on here for everyone to see but I only have my phone as a camera and the pictures are not formatting correctly. Once I figure that out I will put them on here.
