Good Guys v Bad Guys

Ira had an okay weekend. He struggles to breath when on the cannula. You feel and hear him breathe. It's a labor. He finished his round of antibiotics and his site looks much better. He's quite the fatty. When he sits in my lap facing out, the nurses call him "little buddha." They just aren't used to fat babies.

You might remember that I mentioned Baby Alix back on my June 2 post. She had a CDH and shared a pod with Ira for a while. She's home and doing well. We've kept in touch with Alix's parents even though they were the troublemakers of the NICU. It was a risk being seen with them due to their reputation but they were so cool, we couldn't help ourselves. (inside joke)

Alix's granddad told Laura and me that he would score us some of his business's Yanks tix if we were interested. We were and he did. He set us up with Yanks v BoSox. We sat on the third row right behind A-Rod. I went early so I could take in batting practice and see Memorial Park. It was a night we will never forget. Thanks O'Connor clan! A few pics:

THE Evil Empire





Who doesn't want these two guys on their team?




These guys genuinely like baseball and have fun playing it.




The Good Guys Win! And take the series 2-1. By the way, my team gave a $1,000,000 to the Red Cross. How much did your team give? See, they are the Good Guys!

Twenty games left. Our schedule is favorable. The Yanks don't know how not to make the playoffs. We'll be there in October. I guarantee it.

Well, the Yanks don't know how to beat the Devil Rays, either. Keep hope alive, Joe!

Just remember that BoSox have won more Championships in the 21st Century than the Empire.

Oh, Ira, if you could only see how many Tahoka Middle School students are wearing a bracelet with your name on it because they want you to come home....just like your family does! I hope you're enjoying all the loving and kissing that Aunt Katie is giving you this week. Show her that magical smile of yours so she will just be bowled over by her love for you just like all the rest of us have who have gotten to see that sweet smile.

Get stronger, sweet boy! Breathe deeply and peacefully. Swallow any nourishment that's offered. God loves you so much and so do I!!
Love,
Gram
