Yesterday's visit.

I had such a great visit with Anneli and Jack yesterday. For having just had a leg muscle injection a few hours earlier, he seemed to be in pretty decent spirits. He honored me by allowing me to feed him his mac and cheese (he ate a lot!) and we all shared a few fries. We even played a little peek-a-boo and had a blinking contest. He won, of course. After some music time on the floor with Mom I had to go, but it was really comforting for me to see lots of wonderful signs of Jack just being Jack. He is a true fighter. I'm also amazed and humbled by what an incredibly strong and brave woman you are, Anneli. I'm proud to call the Bailey family our friends. I hope the remainder of Jack's hospital stay is brief and thank you for letting me share some time with you. See you soon.

xoxo,
