Fontan Day 13:

2:30  PM It’s a lazy Saturday on 8D. It’s always slow on the weekends at MUSC.  The hustle and bustle of students, visitors and medical staff slows way down. Starbucks even closes.  Mary Clare has had a great morning.  We visited the Atrium, had a yummy chicken noodle soup lunch and are now watching Tinkerbell on the Ipad.  Mel is downtown with a friend and it’s quiet, exactly what I was hoping for this Saturday.  We may take a nap and head outside later on today.  I’m thrilled to say there isn’t much new to report!

Finding music

in unusual places

like chicken noodle soup bowls, juice glasses and sippy cups.

8:00   PM Mary Clare and Mel are relaxing in the bed watching Tinkerbell for the third time today.  We’ve had such a nice day.  Mary Clare has even had fun playing dress-up with her new Tinkerbell costume that Daddy bought her downtown today.  Mel talked to McCanless this afternoon and she is certainly having a big weekend.  She spent the night with “Nonnie” and “Bubba” and Kate last night.  They went out to dinner and to see the movie, Soul Surfer.  Today, Mimi took her to Columbia to spend the night with Aunt Liz and Uncle Robert.  I just received two photos from them.  One photo was of McCanless riding with the top down of convertible and another was a photo of her first pair of shoes from Coplon’s.  Yikes.  I miss her terribly, but I know she’s in great hands and having a ball!

Notice anything?
