First Night...9/21/09

Well, we made it! In our attempts to beat the rush hour traffic, but still make the Bay Bridge carpool lane...we ended up waiting 4 hours in the admissions office! They were so packed here on the 7th floor, we had to wait for patients to be discharged and then the room cleaned. AHHH! While I don't mind waiting, and Tanner was VERY patient, we saw someone having a seizure, someone pass out, and another woman almost cough up a lung. Wasn't pretty after spending 2 weeks AVOIDING ALL GERMS! But we're here and Tanner is doing fantastic. He has done all the poking and proding willingly...and with some bribery of playdough. We've already made spaghetti and snowmen! The first picture is Tanner's dinner, which he was excited about...mac and cheese...until he tasted it! Mark ran across the street to Panda Express and Tanner polished off a full helping of white rice and soy sauce. (And 2 fortune cookies for good luck!) The other picture is of Tanner getting the side view of a chest X-ray. Now we're settling down for the night...they are coming for him at 6:30am! We'll keep everyone updated!
