I managed to see two of my good friends today while I had my hospital break with Nicole. It was nice to have a bit of normality and nice to be able to chat about other things besides hospital stuff. Jason was very pleased with the toys his godmother brought for him to play with. He LOVES his new aeroplane and has even gone to sleep with it. I tried to put it on the table after story time but he was having none of that, he had to hold it and is sleeping peacefully with his aeroplane in his hand. Woodie tucked next to the aeroplane.
His nose and post nasal drip is still giving him trouble. His chest is sounding much better so that is good. Now to get rid of this mucous that is causing all the drama. I didn't get to see Dr. P but he saw Bruce and everything is good. He went through the test results with Bruce and Bruce is happy that he is being very thorough with Jason making sure EVERYTHING is tested. According to the bloods we did last night his protein levels are low but this is something we will discuss with Dr. P and the dietitian tomorrow. Bruce said that Dr. P would like to start PEG feeds tomorrow night. So this is a good sign. I am sure everything will go smoothly and if not we are in the right place. Still lots of mucousy poos happening. Strange that he is still pooing so much even with nothing in his stomach. We will see how that goes when we start feeds.
Jason's other drip decided to give in today as well but luckily finding another vein wasn't too bad today. He was very good, showed the nurse which vein to use and didn't make a sound. I am not sure what happened last night. I guess it was from being woken up to taken to the treatment room and taking so long being prodded and poked and then the sterile gowns and masks while changing the TPN feeds that frightened him. Quite an ordeal at 12pm in the middle of the night.
Think my blow up bed has decided to give in. Seems to have a slow leak. Last night I ended up on the cold floor twice. I am not sure if it's a leak or I didn't have the seal closed properly. I guess I will know in the middle of the night tonight. May end up in bed with Jason later :-). If it is a leak I am off to the shop ASAP. An uncomfortable mom is a grumpy mommy. Well speaking of which it is time to hit my blow up bed and catch up on some sleep.
Night Night all xxxx
