Phenobarbital

Bern is on a new drug that is making her moody and sleepy. So far it has had no effect on her seizures. Prayers welcome!

letter from Fenway!

Eli was super pleased to receive this letter from Red Sox Ambassador Eli Kaufman in response to the letter he wrote Daniel Nava last month.

The fan-pack included a packet of Fenway dirt, photos of Dustin Pedroia and Daisuke Matsuzaka, a Red Sox ball, and game schedules.
