Rough night but good night...

Jeremy had a rough night, but it was because he was getting more back to being his ornery little self, he wasn't sleeping very well, tossing around the bed. They did let me lay next to him and he relaxed it was like he was needing me close. He is getting tylenol faithfully to help with the pain, he did really good yesterday but he started hurting. We had issues with our IV, meaning he removed 2 of them. Dr. Wankum showed me the X-rays, his lungs looked so much better from yesterday to this morning, he is on room temp oxygen and they are lowering the flow as the day goes by there is a good chance today he will just be back on the pediatric nasal canala. He has removed it several times and his stats stay good. He almost ripped out the chest tube and it will get removed either today or tomorrow but more than likely tomorrow after he gets his chest X-ray, they did clamp it off. He ate 1/2 bowl of oatmeal and took his ADHD meds so we are hoping they will help to calm him he drank a full can of pedisure. Kathie, PT got him up, he wouldn't stand on his legs like yesterday but did sit in the chair for almost 2 hours. He was more alert today sitting in the chair but was more fussy, I think he is worn out. He is in bed resting right now, when PT came up he was alseep. When he wakes up I'll order him some mashed potatoes w/ gravy. Today soft foods, tomorrow chewing some soft foods, like peaches... Whoa he will be happy.

Dr. Dan just came by, he wasn't thrilled with the fact he wouldn't stand, he was thrilled with how he is doing pulmonary wise, diet wise that is all good healing but he was impressed that he is moving his legs more. He will come back by later today to check on him. We are not having surgery this week 95% sure of that fact. He will make a decision in the next few days if he wants to put him back in traction and then look at surgery next week or put him in a back brace we go home and come back to see him in 6 weeks and look at the 2nd surgery then. We may be home next week as planned but come back for the 2nd surgery or we may stay a little longer I will know more in the upcoming days...
