We are home!

Last night was kinda rough.  Will was frustrated with the IV in his hand and the oxygen reader in his foot.  He kept trying to rip them off and he was very agitated.  For a while he would only sleep if I was holding him.

He wasn't eating much and that worried me.  He fought us any time we tried to give him any meds.  They would get spit all over his face and clothes and blankets.  He was a mess.  When he woke up early in the morning I put him in the wagon and we just circled the floor.

 He fell asleep and finally looked comfortable like he was really resting.
    I didn't have the heart to put him back in the crib and get hooked back up to all the monitors.  But I also really needed to get some food.  I didn't know where our nurse was so I just asked the man at the desk if he would listen for Will and let our nurse know where I was. He was totally cool with that.  When I came back 10 minutes later, Will was still asleep in the wagon, but he was out at the desk with the other two men.  They were getting a lot of attention from other women walking by and commenting on how cute Will was.  I thought that was pretty funny.  He was very well taken care of while I was gone!

     Will woke up again about the time Mike came.  He was so happy to see his dad!  He hugged and kissed Dad then took the sticker off Mike's shirt and started playing.  Mike would take it away and stick it to Will's face then Will would take it off and wave it around.

 We gave him a sponge bath and got him dressed.  He was looking and feeling good.  We could tell he was feeling much better!

 He and Mike played for a while then we went for another ride in the wagon.

 

 While we were out and about we talked to other families.  One of the families had a little boy who is a double amputee that had just gotten 2 new legs.  He was awesome!  He was doing everything any other kid his age could do and was acting like a normal little boy.  Very cool!

     We went back to our room and got ready to be discharged.  We finally got rid of the IV!

We got more meds and got to come home!  Will fell asleep right before we left, so our ride home was much better than our ride in.

     We are home!  I am so glad!  So is Will.  He is playing with his toys and is eating much better.  He just seems more comfortable all the way around.  He sure loves his Daddy!

He is even attempting to crawl around and it doesn't seem to hurt or bother him at all!  My goal is to stay on top of his meds and keep ahead of the pain.  We also have to make sure that Will doesn't try to take off the dressings on his leg.  I am a little nervous for tonight, but even if we're up a lot, we're home.  Our family is all together again.   Yay!!!
