Doing better

Just a quick update on Miss Alexandra - she is doing so much better.  She is a champ at drinking (though she is ready to to be done with the word "drink").  She is eating a little bit and drinking a lot.  She is also mostly off her pain medicine, though I check with her every hour just to see how she is doing.  We are doing a lot of TV watching and coloring.  We had gotten Alexandra a big kids Bible right before Thanksgiving and she reads that at least once a day.  It was a good investment on the expedited shipping.  It has been hard on Samantha though.  She has lost her playmate.  Alexandra is supposed to rest as much as possible and no strong exercise.  For Samantha, our extrovert, this has been hard.  There is also some jealously going on.  But we are trying to help her (don't worry Memaw!).  Right now I am enjoying the quiet that new crayons and new coloring books can bring.
