Liam remains in the hospital. Some days, he seems to be making progress. Yesterday, he had a rough day, with his numbers up again and more leaking from his kidney. He is such a trooper, though. On Tuesday, while I was visiting, he was being a typical 10 (almost 11) year old, banging his casted arms and his hard head against the railing of his bed and flopping one of his many (and I mean MANY) teddy bears around like he was delirious. His mom warned him that they'd put him in the psych ward if didn't quit. It just so happened that earlier that morning, he was visited by Jared, the Subway mogul, who was spreading the word about healthy eating to the children at the hospital. We even got to see Liam and Jared on the Channel 6 news at noon. He ate a cup of fruit that Jared brought and as of the time I left, he had been able to keep it down....a first since the accident almost 3 weeks ago. Several days ago, the OSU Girls Basketball team paid him a visit. Can't complain about that! Kendria, who goes to church with me, works with OSU and volunteers for the Coaches vs. Cancer campaign. She was kind enough to send some of the pictures taken of Liam with the basketball team. As Kendria said, you can hardly tell Liam from the teddy bear....he's just so darned cute!
