Isolation

With Alex's cough getting worse, the doctors decided to put Alex in "isolation" - which means when anyone comes in the room, they have to wear a paper gown and mask. So, we are isolated in this little room no bigger than a one car garage (including the bathroom). We cannot even have the door open.

We just finished watching Wall-E, and Alex is singing the Peter Gabriel song at the credits.

"We're coming down to the ground, there's no other place to go, we've got snow on the mountains, and rivers down below..."

We can see the mountains and rivers here on top of this hill, but can't get to them right now. It's true, there is no better place than outside - something we all take for granted until your child can't experience it...

We can't wait to "come down to the ground" off this hill - maybe Monday - he still has a fever...
