My title explains it all! C is itchy. While thats awesome for us and for his healing, it makes for a miserable C. He is needing his benadryl before the 4 hrs is up. Theres nothing else to do for him really. I try to scratch the places for him that are itchy, but a few are hard to reach. His bottom is a place I cant get to and wouldnt you know, thats one of the most itchy spots. C is becoming more bold in his attempts to scratch himself. When he has his hand splints on he tries to itch his head and his is not supposed to touch his head and face at all.
We got a nice surpise tonite. Marv, Tate and Kendall are staying at the hospital with us. Tate is sleeping in C's room with me. Marv was able to get a room at the Reinberg Suites downstairs. Tate and Kendall are concerned that C wont be able to do the things like he was before the accident. While I have explained to them over and over that he will be playing ball and mario cart in no time, they still have their reservations. I totally understand that. The minds of a 5 and 7 yr old dont comprehend and I dont expect them too. They need to be shown and in due time C will show them! Tonite I think though they were encouraged because C was playing DS and they were so amazed and C got all excited and loud. It does C wonders when the boys come up to visit, well to be honest it does us all good!
Tomorrow holds another dressing change for C and the Doc wants to take another good look at his grafts. I dont like dressing changes! They give C a lot of meds to knock him out and make him not remember. Thats not the reason for my dislike. My dislike comes from it throwing a wrench in our day. C is usually zonked out for several hours after and when he wakes up it takes another hour or two to get him back to normal. I guess it needs to be done and as long as he's not in pain I shouldnt mind.
Have an awesome weekend and enjoy the sunshine for me!

Its nice to hear you were all able to be together last night as a family, I can only imagine how glad the kidders were to see one another. My thoughts and prayers continue to go to little "C" as i'm going through my day. Yes, Amy im sure it must be so very hard to see and have dressing change day, but keep reminding yourself its all in the steps of healing and progressing forward. And as hard as it is, the sleepiness from his meds are probably the best thing for him right now, Hes body can heal faster when hes resting. And it will also shorten his long days..I'm so sorry you have to see your precious little guy go through so much pain.. as a mommy it is heart'tearing' hang in there sister friend and im praying that Coleson heals faster then they expect so you can take him home.. I hope to get up to visit with you next week..and p.s its very chilly out so your not missin out on much for today. High is only going to be about 50! Hang in there ''sunny days ahead are coming''!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I love this blog! I'm sorry that the situation occurred for you to have it, but its so encouraging to all of us that are "out here" thinking and praying for you! I find it so interesting (and wonderful) that they drug him to change his dressings- I was wondering about that actually! Its also got to be such a blessing that they help him to forget, the only thing I can even compare to, was when my Tate went to the dentist and they gave him laughing gas, as a mom, I was so relieved to see him relaxed and not in pain, but it was scarey too.. Oh and I wanted to tell you, the other night I was reading your blog and my Tate was looking at it, (we talk about it a lot) and Tate was so excited to see "his" name on your blog! He thought it was really cool that you have a son with the same name :) Hope you're holding up well, it sounds like God is giving you all that you need to get thru and I praise Him for it!! God Bless you and C!!
