A shout out to my "new friends" at APH 3rd floor....

To the nurses and techs: thanks for treating us so well, taking the time to get to know my son, and treating all of your patients with love and respect. I am not surprised (because I always have liked this hospital...) but I am gratefully reminded of what a wonderful nursing staff you all are!

For everyone else... Here's an update on Wesley...

He is having a better afternoon than he had yesterday or even this morning. Granted he has spent a lot of his time sleeping... It is SO much better than screaming, and I will take it. Praying it continues through the night and if he doesn't sleep that he is awake and happy... Ok, we will go for pleasant to be realistic :).

We are staying one more night as a collaborative decision between myself, our nurse, the doctor, and Michael. We are hoping that tomorrow we think "goodness, could have gone home!" rather than being at home thinking "oh no what have we done bringing him home already!?!?"

Wesley is still not tolerating the pain really great about 2 hours into a 4 hour pain med regimen...

As the previous pic showed, we have the wheelchair for him and we are meeting with someone to get us a harness for him to wear laying down on a bench seat in the car in leiu of a car seat.

Right now he is happily snoring after already having wet through his cast and two pillows just before his pain meds... Cath is out! Lol. Icky pee everywhere...

Oh, and still blood tinged urine in his earlier diaper but I believe thef most recent leakage was all clear, which is good!

Hoping to come home around 2 or so tomorrow...
