Quinn decided he wanted to try having his picture taken like Grandpa. This is what he came up with. Given how hardy our laughs were, we were all glad Aunt Jen arrived Saturday afternoon with her various hats to choose from. This was the hat with the rhinestone skull and crossbones on the side (which is unfortunately, not visible in this image).
I wanted to post this quick note to update family overseas about Henry's health. He appears to be suffering from pneumonia again and we had him admitted to hospital last evening. His breathing became quite shallow and his oxygen levels seemed to be dropping so, despite his desire to stay home the decision was made to have his lungs looked at. The X-ray revealed what we had suspected and had been warned would likely happen. The pneumonia was back. The doctor (different than the doctors we saw a month ago with him) thought the pneumonia was quite bad and was somewhat upset that we had waited so long. He did not compare to the X-rays from last month's time in hospital so I don't know if it is worse this time or not.
Henry continues to be his feisty self and would rather be home than in hospital. After his experience of getting out and wandering around the neighbourhood last week (he was looking for his childhood home in Glasgow) we felt it important to warn the hospital staff in case he decided to pick up and leave. I feel badly for him being kept against his will. It is so hard because we know that the hospital is a better and safer place for him to be.
