It had been four days since I saw Charley Ellen! I needed my baby fix badly ......especially since my mother-in-law equivalent, Bruni, suffered a terrible fall on Tuesday, breaking her hip and shattering her elbow. She under went over three hours of surgery on Wednesday and has been in critical condition in intensive care ever since. BUT today she showed the first signs of improvement so we are all guardedly optimistic.
I took some time to drive in to visit Charley and her parents today. She is really looking at things now and turns her eyes toward voices. I spent an hour and a half just holding her and marveling at this precious little life.

Allison is feeling much better now. She is able to walk around much better and her swollen feet have returned to normal. She has this sling that goes over one shoulder with a pouch for the baby. Charley loves it being snuggled close to mom and mom has her hands free to do things while "holding" the baby.

My great day ended with Lou's dad treating us to dinner and a visit to the hospital. Bruni was able to say several words after having her breathing tube removed this morning. She responded to our conversation and even blew her husband a kiss in response to his when we left. That lady is a real fighter!
