Thursday

This is Kerri's sister Ronda writing. Paige enjoyed seeing family and friends all day today. Gazing around at faces, she named her visitors, doled out candy, and snuggled with various ones. She ate half a banana and some fruit snacks and requested bologna and Lucky Charms. Val and I couldn't find bologna in the hospital so we ended up buying a slice of liverwurst as the deli folks told us it was a close enough cousin. She never tasted it but added it to her stash of goodies on the bed. At one point, I suggested that she tell her Daddy that the Red Sox were yucky. No reply from Paige. Ben offered a counter suggestion and Paige immediately and enthusiastically echoed his "Go Red Sox!" Guess we know where her loyalties lie. Tonight Kerri, Ben, Luke, and Paige snuggled together on Paige's bed and the children held hands for a time.
