Thank you all so much for all your prayers, kind words, and thoughtful wishes. It has been so crazy, with Rainer experiencing problems far beyond the fever and infection but today things are looking better and we are very hopeful that he will continue to improve. For much of these last few days he has been fussy and out of sorts, not even wanting to be read or sung to. It is so hard to see him that way. Nursey is is only comfort--I am so grateful he is still nursing!
But today he is sitting up some and playing a little--a huge difference! And this afternoon we will be allowed to walk him up to the rooftop patio. I know he'll be glad to get outside, outdoor boy that he is.
Pat the Bunny and On Mother's Lap have been the favorites this admission, when he's feeling up to it.
And yes, he turned two while we've been in here. Not a very happy birthday yet, but we will have a real party for him when he is feeling much much better. Happy Birthday to you, Rainer! You continue to amaze us with your strength and courage.

Oh baby baby...I think of you often. You are in my prayers. And I know that 'baby-angels' are watching over you.
Anything is possible. ANYTHING...be strong, be brave and know that you are loved.
I'm so glad things are looking better. What a sweetie. Happy Birthday Rainer!
Oh! Happy Birthday little guy! I hope he gets to come home soon. I'll continue to keep him and you all in my thoughts...
Bless that boy! He has such a cute grin!
Thinking of you all...xxx
Happy Birthday to your gorgeous little boy. I hope you had a lovely walk about the garden and that he is better and home soon.
Thank god for the 'nursey...'
It's so great he can nurse. To not be able to comfort an ill child is so hard. "The Red Barn" was a favorite when Lou was in the hospital at his age. I'll always treasure that book. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
So glad to hear Rainer is feeling stronger. Thinking of you all.
Oh MB my friend...I am so sorry to hear about all of this. Hang in there mama...sending all the love I can your way this morning.
And Happy Belated Birthday to your sweetie.
So glad he's still nursing - what comfort (and nutrition!) you're giving him! You're one strong mama!
Hang in there, y'all are in my prayers!
Happy Birthday little one - here's hoping you get better real soon .. hugs

Your so strong. it all breaks my heart all my bloggy friends children who go through so much. More and more and more prayers for you all.
We are so thankful your little man is doing better, what a fright.
Its brakes my heart that he spent his birthday in hospital, I hate that you had to be there for that special day. But I believe you're one of the strongest mothers I have ever come across and I know that you won't allow yourself to dwell on that. Looking forward, keeping strong, you'll throw him a great party when he's home Im sure. I can hear the love in your words.
I believe in your family.
Much much love to you all, Clare. (((Rainer))) birthday hugsx
