Day 36, Saturday, February 5, 2011

Dr. Cassidy showed me Meika's x-rays!
Auntie brought Bonnie, Mahree, Spencer,
& Sammy to visit Meika in the hospital lobby!

The Helen De Vos Children's Hospital is amazing!
It opened on 1/11/11.
The boys enjoyed the virtual wall; the circles on the floor are gel filled.
The furniture, the mosaics, and the many colors and lights that change make
this a place to visit--not to mention the cool ice cream and pizza shop!
