February 23 - Day 17

Nothing exciting since Friday night. Today Ginny's BP readings remained in the 150s over high 80s, except when she was active. Active now means sitting up in bed, so she tries to remain lying down as much as possible. Tomorrow, we should get another protein level, which measures how well the kidneys are functioning. Prior to admission her levels were about 150, upon admission there were about 320 and have remained at that level. So long as they are under 500, her doctors are not alarmed, but would prefer to see the level stay where it is now.

Least anyone thinks that Ginny has staged an elaborate ruse to secure a sorely needed vacation, below are some pictures of Collin. This is his head.

It seemed large, and I suggested that he might take after me. Then we got a clear picture of his foot, and the doctors were amazed at its size. Ginny became resolute that he is going to take after her.

Although LeeAnna continues to hold out hope that he is actually a she, the picture below seems to answer that question once and for all.

A measure of either her persistance or capacity for denial, even after seeing the picture LeeAnna remains optimistic that Collin will somehow come out Lillian.
