Praises

We had an awesome time together as a family last night and today! After C's dressing change and he was in his room today he slept a good long while. We are glad for all the uninterupted sleep that he gets. Last night was rather brutal for me. Every 45 minutes to the second almost, C was wanting me to 'scratch' his back. I would meander over and just when I thought he was sleeping again, he'd wake up! :( I'm not used to those nights anymore. (after the twins were 3 mon old they slept through the night, so its been a while). Any way my point is the nurses left the bandage off of his whole left arm except the bicep, and pulled his tube out of his stomach (not the feeding tube). He has a feeding tube that goes in the other nose hole and is placed in his intestines. The tube they pulled out was to suction out bile that his body was making too much of and to relieve any pressure since C cant burp right now. C's grafts look awesome! This is coming from someone who has no idea how a graft should look but C's look really good!!!! This morning when C got up he had his 'cap' totally removed from his head and all that we could see was what looked like tape and some 'scratches'. His head was the donor site for all his facial grafts. The doc thinks that by monday C wont have a head bandage anymore! He looks like a cancer patient now because the Doc shaved his head. To me he looks as handsome as ever! Hair grows back anyway! :)



Marv was so kind to let me come home again tonite. I love him so much! He puts my needs in front of his! While I'm glad for the time out of the hospital, I cant wait to go back! Tate wanted to stay at the hospital again tonite. He likes the idea of being able to go down the hall and getting pop and snacks out of the vending machines. Not to mention being able to get pizza at 10pm. He's so funny.



Thats all I have for now...Check back every day. I try to post later in the evening after visitors have gone home.
