The nurses call Bobby 'Handsome'. Its amazing they are still using a term of endearment as we finally cleared the constipation hurdle this morning and Bubs is feeling much better after putting the nurses to work on cleaning up his...uh...constipation hurdle.
Bobby is actually in a great mood. He's playing and laughing freely for the first time since his surgery. He's starting to look like himself instead of a glazed-eyed boy. And he's started to fight the cannula that's stuck in his nose - a good but difficult-for-mama milestone to reach.
His feedings on the Vivonex have been drama free. The drainage from his chest tube already looks better as a result. All in all a good report from Chidren's Memorial.
love, love, love this update. i hope i read a lot more like it. handsome, indeed!

ReplyDelete"The Constipation Complication Retaliation!" Giving a huge mess to clean is just his way of saying "I told you I'd get even for all those needle sticks!"
