James having fun

Our boy has had some cranky days lately, but he's starting to show his smiles again. He has one particular iPad app that he LOVES and that makes him laugh. Several times this week, he's been playing this app while his doctors have gathered around him for morning rounds (which he normally hates) and he has astonished them all by breaking out in giggles.

The playroom in the pediatric ward has a fancy kitchen with lots of accessories, and our little guy has been enjoying cooking and grocery shopping. He will eat anything... as long as it's plastic and only pretend...

The duct ligation hasn't made much impact, so here we are with another week's update devoid of medical news. James is on track to be the longest Fontan-chylothorax patient they've had here (depending on who you ask).

His preschool started last week, but he obviously didn't attend. Instead, he should be starting the pediatric 6th floor preschool here in the hospital. Tomorrow is the first day :)
