Day 134 - Padre Pio do your thing!

Chloe had a couple of nice visits from Grammy and Mommy today. She cozied up to Grammy and slept for an hour and a half. After that I took my mom to the airport :-( since she had to go back home. I then returned to the hospital and spent a wonderful hour and a half with a fully awake and cute-tastic alert Chloe.

So I submit to you these Chloe-rific photos (and no complaining about the poor quality - you should be used to my lack of photography skills by now ;-) :

I took these three pictures today during Chloe's marathon 1.5hour alert period. Unfortunately, I only had my phone handy so they're pretty dark. Fortunately, Chloe's cuteness shines though!
































Here's Chloe giggling at Grammy jokes. Chloe smiles ALL the time! I just never have a camera in hand when she does it.















My mom enjoying some quality time with her smallest grandchild right before her return to Houston.
















I love this picture that I took yesterday. Dave doesn't spend nearly as much time as me at the hospital so he's not quite as used to Chloe's magic. I walked out of the lactation room to find him in the position - obviously overcome by Chloe's calming effect.


















The last thing I did before leaving Chloe tonight was to bless her with some sacred oil that has touched the glove of Padre Pio. Our new friends/neighbors lent the oil to us and tell us that a family member's cancer disappeared after a blessing with this oil. We Catholics are a superstitious bunch - me included. I will take any special blessings sent our way! Chloe's Upper GI barium is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:30amET. Come on Padre Pio! Do your thing!
