Sunday – Day 5

May 18th, 2008 by lyonsden

Judah and I had a good night last night. He seemed to only wake up when the nurses would come in to do their thing to his IV, and he’d quickly dose back off.

Today, we get to find out if he can have the NG Tube removed, and resume eating like a normal person. He’s looking forward to that! Every time someone walks by with food or drink he says ‘What’s that?’ and ‘Can I have some?’. Last night when I was almost done with my Dr. Pepper he said ‘Can I have the rest?’, so obviously food and drink are on his mind.

This morning he’s complaining about his legs hurting. When this whole thing started (when we thought it was the flu) he’d complain that his legs hurt, then finally on Wednesday he said his tummy hurt. Maybe, since he’s not complaining about his tummy any more, things inside are moving back to their right place and causing his legs to ache.

Update: 12:50

A little bit of a set back just happened. We were all set to have his NG tube removed around 10:00, but the doctors got tied up in surgery and it got delayed. Well, right after my lunch was delivered to me, Judah decided to throw up a lot of yucky green stuff :-( I was there and ready for it, but he managed to miss the catch try and turn everything around him a bright neon-green color.

Then! the doctor showed up. The doctor put Judah back on suction and we’ve restarted the process of trying to get him off of the NG tube.

    Dear Ones,

    Good Morning! I am so glad that last night was better. I miss Judah coming downstairs and knocking on my door in the morning to come have tea with him.

    I will come over this afternoon for a visit.

    Love, hugs and kisses to you both!

    It is so wonderful to see Judah looking so much better. Please tell him Hi from Front Royal and ask him if that is Todd orange T-shirt he is wearing. We pray he get to go home soon.
    Thanks for all the updates.
    Love, B&D

    Christie, I have been fascinated by reading the entire story of Judah just today! (I never understood how a blog works anyway and hadn’t “ventured” there before.) My heart goes out to you and Michael as you see your little one struggle. I am so thankful for the good care and seemingly good progress Judah is making. Our prayers continue. Lots of love, Aunt Mir
