Same Song, 11th Day

It is a quiet Sabbath in the hospital.  The internet is very slow, so no watching or listening to sermons on line.  Instead we watched a DVD on Bonhoeffer's life.  Helps us to contemplate our own Christianity, and our relationship with Jesus... and the level of commitment.
Jethenro got to walk in the hallway today, and I notice some commotion in the play room.  When I peeked into the room, there were some college students out creating cheer.  They later walked by our room, gave Jethenro a present and I snapped a picture with the 'doc'. 
Because of his 0 defenses, Jethenro wears a mask outside his room.
Jethenro was put on contact precaution, so his dad is modeling the nurse attire. The infectious disease controller in the hospital wanted us parents to wear them too, but the Dr. says it is not necessary~he has been on antibiotics long enough, Jethenro is no longer contagious. However it does protect Jethenro from catching what the nurses might carry into the room.
Here is the cute little gift he got.  Even cookies in the  cup to reflect the Irish green.  Really cute and thoughtful.
