What can I do now?

Filling up long periods of time is difficult. Try to help a 5 year old do it. Now, imagine that wirey, energetic, non stop blur of a 5 year old couped up in a hospital room for a week. How do you do it? Well, if you are the Dad of such a child, you let that responsibility mostly fall on the Mom! One of Tasha's favorite activities, besides not eating and playing in the play center, is to color. She loves to color! So much in fact that one of the days I spotted her burnt, blistered finger, the one that they no longer wrap because it was healing, looked like it was either bleeding or severely burned! Upon further investigation and a little panic ( that's what Father's are for), I discovered that it was colored from the markers Tasha was using. Now, with all the fine pictures that have been created, what do you do with them? Throw them out? Not in front of the artist. You hang them on the wall, of course! Without further ado, here are just some of them:

This is a picture from stage left. You start to get the idea of how many there are. You will also see some of the cards and pictures that Tasha has received.

Her are more of them, stage right. At this point the artwork takes up about two thirds of the wall!

Center stage of course!

Here is a close up of one of the pictures Tasha helped H with. She has had lots of practice and is getting good!

Thank you to all the people that have given books and coloring markers and for all the fabulous gifts and cards and notes!
