Today was a good, but sad day. This morning the kids were happier than the last few days. We were very happy to have Cristi and Sammy back today! I went in to visit Sammy (don’t worry he didn’t forget how to pull hair!) in the mobile room minutes before they discovered he had come back from the hospital with chicken pox. They moved him into the back bedroom where no children had been living to try to isolate it, although all the kids (including Sammy) have been vaccinated. He seemed very bored back there, but whenever we brought him toys he just threw them across the room. Hopefully no one else will get chicken pox! The kids ate their bottles well today, and baby Andreea even got a cereal bottle with the big kids! We took turns visiting the mobiles, non-mobiles, isolation room, and the new isolation room (Sammy’s room).
After a quick lunch at the hotel we headed back to the clinic for a party with the aides. We took pictures, ate snacks, and laughed together. The big kids were awake/ starting to wake up, so Maiastra, Alexandra, Ionella and Ioana got to join the party for a while. They were even allowed to eat some of the snacks and drink a few sips of orange soda! After the party we brought all the kids to the playrooms. A few minutes later, Michelle ran into our room saying there was a new baby. Of course we all ran in to visit him, and found out that he wasn’t new to the clinic, just new to us. He has stayed there for a week in November before leaving for emergency heart surgery, and is finally back. He is very cute, and looks a ton like Alexandru used to. After some very cute but teary goodbyes, we headed back to the hotel. It was so hard to say goodbye to the kids, but we know they are in good hands! Tomorrow morning we will be heading to the train station early, then spending part of the day in Bucharest before flying home.
