For Uncle EE

From Oliver:

(just a quick note while I pick Nana's flowers)

Apparently, my Mimi talked to my Uncle EE (daddy's brother) about me the other day.  I guess he wanted to know how I was doing.  When Mimi told him I was talking again, he wanted to know if I had asked yet what was going on with me.  I hadn't really thought about it too much.  I know that for a little while I couldn't do the things I was used to being able to do.  Like running, jumping, talking, sitting, walking, climbing and all that stuff.  

I could tell that lots of people were praying for me and loving me during that time.  My mommy held me close nearly every moment.  I didn't even want to sleep without her.  I guess she just made me feel safe.  My daddy never left my side unless he was getting food or something.  It is pretty neat that both of my parents could be around the whole time.  Many kids at the hospital didn't get to have that.  

Anyway, I guess I could ask what is going on, but now I am just SO HAPPY that I can do everything again.  I am joyful and giggly most of the time...giddy with excitement!  I am trying to learn all the words that my big people say so that I can tell them all the fun things I think about.  In the mean time, they seem to think it is pretty awesome when I say I love you, and I love you more, etc.  

So Uncle EJ, I really don't get too wrapped up in what happened.  (I could REALLY do without the pokey thing every morning, but mom and dad are getting pretty good at it and they say it is my super juice.  The medicines are better now that they let me squirt them in my mouth by myself.)  Instead, I'm going to keep being full of love and life and JOY.

Love you, EE!
