The day started off well. Getting to move to the 15th floor and getting up to walk to the door and back were highlights of the day. He also is very happy he doesn't have to wear the oxygen in his nose or keep the blood pressure cuff on his leg all the time..Later on, Jack decided that he "really" did not want to take his oral pain meds, and got rather upset about it. In his over-excited state, he threw up the spaghetti he had finally eaten. We really want him to stay ahead of the pain and this does not help much.
He has been a real hero through it all though, with glimpses of the cunning Jack we all know and love. He is on major fluid restrictions, but he can eat pretty much anything. He said he'd eat the pineapple on his tray. He picked it up and then drank the juice out of it as if to say "so there". Always trying to make a deal to his best advantage and giving a good smile when he's happy.
Our prayers for tonight:
- For Jack to graciously (well...with as much grace a 3yr old can muster) accept his pain meds
- For Jack's tummy to accept meds, food and nourishment
- For Jack to sleep well and be cooperative with the nurses and doctors
- For Mandy to sleep well and know intuitively what Jack needs
- For the Doctors to know what Jack needs
- For us all to Praise God for his Grace and Sovereignty
Our praises for today:
- Whoop! For leaving the CVICU and moving into the 15th floor with a bed for mommy next to Jack
- Hurray for walking to the door and back
- Yippee for going potty (seriously...)
- Praise for Jack's great sleeping opportunities today
- Awesome Loving God, Parents and Friends
May you all dream of buses and Pooh! (of the Winnie variety)
