Big brother

Everett was able to see Quinn last night.  They have a wonderful Child Life Specialist here and she offered him the opportunity to do some medical play.  He was given his own "patient" (doll), and after Everett drew a face on the baby, they attached a catheter, a breathing tube, and a blood pressure cuff.  He "listened" to the heartbeat with a stethoscope and gave the doll an "injection" of saline water through the catheter.  This made it all seem far less scary when Everett did see Quinn.

 

When we got to Quinn's room he washed his hands and made "very good bubble gloves" - getting the soap in between his fingers, and on the backs of his hands, and under his nails, prior to rinsing.  Thanks Growing Seeds for the good hand washing lessons at school!  Everett was quite calm around Quinn, and asked to be picked up to see his brother better and be able get close so he could whisper "I love you Quinn."  Such a sweetie.
