Go Vols!

Aly used "Three Cheers" as a title this morning, which ruined my planned title "Three Cheers for the Volunteers". Instead, this title might attract then disappoint the Peyton Manning fans (there's a reference where my friends in the UK will have no idea what I am on about).

Anyway, this is about the people that volunteer their time to help people at the Texas Children's Hospital. There are loads, including, on Thursdays, some ladies that come and take photographs of your baby and make you a nice card. For free!

They also give you a CD with all the pictures they took.

I was very grumpy about the whole idea at first but I was wrong and I am looking forward to seeing them every Thursday and after they've been, I will share some of their work on this blog. Here's Henry;

Here's Charlie;

 

Since you asked, the reason that Charlie ended up with the more "Band Aid" style device to keep his tube in place dates back to when he was in his very early days. He used to have a "Neobar" like his brother but his skin was so bad that he lost a bit of skin on it one day. They changed to the Band Aid and it's stayed like that since.

 

You can see what happened to his face on the photo below.
