Another small step

Shivam managed to keep high fevers at bay yesterday and today. He is still having low grade fevers continuously but that's less concerning for the doctors.

Shivam lost 2 things today. One, the peripheral IV on his hand was taken off. That was a big relief as now he can use both his hands to hold objects and play. Second, his big fat NG tube was replaced with a small, thin feeding tube. Unfortunately, this will remain for some time to come.

Meera, Ma and Bapu came to visit us today. I got up early (yeah 5:45 AM) and went to pick them up. Shivam spent some quality time with them.

We had an unexpected visitor today. My old friend Nataraj dropped by to visit Shivam from East coast. It was a pleasant surprise to see Suresh and Sampath also come and visit us. Shivam got a remote control car and Meera got a teddy bear. It really touched our heart to see Nataraj take a 9 hour trip just to spend 1/2 hour with Shivam.

Finally, I wanted to end this post with some photos taken by Shivam. Yes, he took these photos all by himself (using the camera brought by his Kapil chachu).

Yun hi kat jaayega safar saath chalne se, ke manzil aa rahi nazar saath chalne se....I have been longing to hear some good news. Nazar na lage.
Great Shivam. Nice to see the smiles on your faces.
