look at that face

Emmett's feeding tube came out last Thursday night. Usually he gets his feeds over night and to have the tube replace we either have the VNA (visiting nurse) come to the house, or we have to go down to the ER. Since we were planned for an admission and chemo on Friday morning, we just waited it out and decided he'd be ok til the morning. In the meantime, we were able to see his face for a while for the first time in months.

 Here's the handsome little devil...and Emmett looks pretty good, too ;)

He's gotten lazy in his sign language, but this is him signing for candy. The sign is really done on your cheek, but he's used to tape being on his cheek and is very cautious of his tubing, so he signs it on his chin now.  There's a CVS/drugstore in the lobby of Children's and he usually picks out a bag of candy there (and pretty much never eats it, but he loves the tradition and likes to pick something out and swipe the credit card). This is him in the parking garage Friday morning (he wanted to stay in his jammies).  He recognizes where we are and starts asking for candy before we're even out of the car usually.
