Today I didn't really do much, except eat and rest. I did get a blood transfusion....a whole 12 CCs of blood to make up for what they take out of me for blood gases. That's less than I eat in a three hour period! I'm eating 14 CCs every three hours now and I'm lovin' it!
Janelle and her husband, John, came by to say hi to me before they left to go Ames, Iowa for a concert. They told mommy they are having a mommy/daddy date. My mommy and daddy do that sometimes, but never for the whole night. I think it's because they'd miss me way too much!
Grandpa Hewlitt came to see me again today. He went looking for houses in Cedar Rapids for me to live in when I get out of the hospital. He looked at one house and then, once daddy came home from work, Grandpa Hewlitt and mommy went and looked at more houses. Daddy and I stayed here and had some male bonding time while mommy was gone. Grandpa Hewlitt and mommy looked at a really nice, little house that Grandpa Hewlitt says would be perfect for me. We were all going to sleep on it and make a decision in the morning.
After I ate dinner, I got to hold mommy....and I wore my new hat!!! Daddy took pictures of me in my new hat. Then after I held mommy I got put back in bed and repositioned a million times. I had three nurses working on me because I'm such a tough little guy. They decided to re-tape my Ventilator Tube and my NG tube...because the tubes looked like they might fall out of me. I decided I really don't like tape all over me....The nurses tried really hard to get all the old tape off, but it's hard to do that when I'm being a squirmy worm. I have a secret....the nurses have this stuff that they rub on the tape and it comes off without hurting me...it's a good thing they use that stuff on me, or I'd beat them up!!!
I have a new nurse tonight....her name is Michelle and she keeps coming into my room everytime my O2 sat dips a little. Mommy tried to tell her to give it a second before coming in because I usually go right back up to normal, but Michelle has not worked with me before. She'll learn tonight and tomorrow when she comes back, she'll be on to my game....I like to make the nurses get exercise!!!:)
Daddy is sleeping on the couch right now. I'm kind of sad because he has to go to work tomorrow.....Saturdays and Sundays are my daddy days! But, he told me that lots of people skipped work today, so they didn't get a lot of windows made. He says that his bosses want to see if they can make enough windows this weekend to make up for today. I love my daddy so much, because he's a really hard worker...he doesn't skip work ever. The only times he has missed work have been because of me....because I'm his favorite little person!!!
I suppose I should stop pestering Michelle and get some sleep. Have a good night:)
