Amazing day

We had an amazing day today.  Gabi's foster parents brought Gabi's twin, Mihaela, and her foster mother to the hospital to celebrate the girls birthday. They turn 8 later this month so it was a bit early but definitely a special occasion.  

We even got to bring Delia upstairs from the second floor to participate.  Coca put her in a pretty red dress and much to her dismay she got her hair combed.  I think Delia was surprised that she wasn't the center of attention!  Miha noticed Delia's differences and Dan explained it to her we told her Delia can color with her toes! 

I'm attaching pictures, which are of course worth a thousand words.  Miha seemed happy during the party.  I asked Dan to tell her that all of the volunteers who helped care for her when she was little
love her very much.  Coca and Dan were thrilled to see both girls. I think they definitely remember Coca! Miha and I played a game where we tossed two balloons o act other simultaneously.  We gave the girls dolls dressed in traditional Romanian outfits that we bought at the placement center's craft room.  

Unfortunately Ilinca still isn't feeling well. She got another IV glucose drip this afternoon.  Ken got permission to take her out of her crib and hold her, which I'm sure was a great comfort to her. 

There is a small walker in the physical therapy room and Maria used it to help her walk. She 

The afternoon was a bit difficult.  A few meltdowns that Dan blamed on the sugar they had at the party!  Luciana slept until 4:30 and we finally woke her up. She was crying and we finally figured out that she thought Delia was at the end of the hall and she wanted to go see her. She also missed saying good bye to Coca. Truth be told, I tried to sneak her down to the second floor where Delia is but got stopped on the 4th floor landing. Oh well, what are they going to do, fire me? 

Only one day left.  Hard to believe.
