Another day in the sun

Today we enjoyed yet another Californian summer day. Wait, its fall... but I would not know it. Wren is feeling good, shows no sign of fatigue but still has tenderness around his belly.

We went to the Farmer's Market for a while in the morning. Unlike Seattle markets - it was full of restaurant quality booths tempting us with crepes, fresh clay oven roti (we loved watching the roti's puff against the walls of the oven) and even a tropical fruit stand selling guava's, rambutan, apple banana's (pisang susu from Indonesia) and tamarind pods. We are having a hard time keeping Wren quiet even though we carry him around. At home he rushes around following Frost and wanting to get involved in anything going on.

He is also having trouble sleeping - he wakes every half hour for many hours at night. I suspect he is in pain and have been giving him Motrin at night. He also receives lasix 1.2 mg 2X a day and is peeing ok.

We leave for Seattle tomorrow morning but we are not ready! I have so much more to write but even more to do. We are looking forward to being home, sort of. This whole period feels quite surreal and I am only reminded of its intensity off and on during the day, such as when we hear an air ambulance approaching.
