We put Joe on a plane this morning to commute to Redmond, WA for work for the next 4 days. He did see his girls at 5:45 am before heading to the airport and they were being good little girls. The girls did do another sleepover today from 2-5pm, but in Evie’s apartment this time. Maggie was very squirmy, but Evie just slept through the whole thing – I don’t think she moved at all. Aunt Christie arrived this afternoon, so she got to be the Joe stand in – just not as obnoxious. I thought since Maggie had been so good the last couple of days, she would be easier for Christie to handle; but apparently the girls must know it is not their parents because she acted up like Evie did for Grandma Bev on Sunday. We did figure out that her gavage tube (oral feeding tube) was coming out after she ate, so that might have been part of the problem. The girls have been taking turns de-saturating and making the nurses work, but Nurse Mary thinks that they did better when they were together because they reminded each other to breathe.

Nurse Barbara was back as Evie’s nurse tonight and played dress-up. Yes, Evie actually has clothes on tonight – and was on her side cuddled up fast asleep. Granted, Nurse Barbara said it took her a while to get Evie situated and happy because she didn’t like laying on her tummy tonight, which is strange. Both girls were tuckered out after their afternoon playtime and were fast asleep.
