We left Sapulpa at 9am and was in Columbia, Missouri by a little after 3pm.. We made a quick stop in Joplin to grab a bite to eat on the road, in Lebandon to fill up the car. The trip was mostly sunshine and clear roads the entire duration until we got to Jefferson City the clouds were upon us and the closer to Columbia it started to snow a little but nothing too bad. We arrived at our motel, had food delivered and enjoyed a nice quiet evening.
I gave Dr. Dan his picture frame with the picture, I think he really loved it. He called since he wasn't coming back up this evening and thanked me again for the picture frame and said he already had it hanging up in his office.
This morning, Dr. Dan put the halo back on Jeremy. We are in room 528 at the University of Missouri Children's Hospital @ 404 Keene Street, Columbia, MO, 65201. Jeremy is not thrilled by no means about the return of the halo. We did have a few rough moments today, but I know he is mad because he can't get up and run around, he also has an IV and he hates it. They are capping the IV and will take out in the morning, Dr. Dan doesn't feel he needs it. J has eaten a grilled cheese sandwhich, tator tots, chocolate ice-cream, 2 cups of pudding and drinking a pedisure. I also ordered him some chicken nuggets for later and he is eating on them. He can have pain meds every 4 hours and then some valium to help him sleep. He will get his ADHD meds in the morning as a typical day and Dr. Dan is working on getting a walker rigged up so Jeremy can be upright and walk, which is going to thrill Jeremy. He wants him upright as much as possible so Jeremy has been sitting in the chair most of the afternoon and is happy to do so. He has been ornery, wants to run around and pulls at the halo for attention.

Hey, Lora, it's Denise. Angie sent the e-mail you requested to Starla and me, so glad to hear you arrived OK and didn't run into any snow. I was really afraid you would, based on the news reports. Hope Thursday was a better day for J and today is even better. I'll be watching this site. I'll rev up the laptop at home and start checking it like a grown-up, too. If you ever need it, my home e-mail is lyonbruchds@yahoo.com. Take care of yourself as much as you can while caring for J. You're both in my prayers.
