I Scream… You Scream…

May 24th, 2008 by lyonsden

After a great night last, and a pleasant visit from the doctors this morning, Judah and I went down to the play room to hang out and have fun. While we were down there playing with the cars that you shake to start and shake some more to make them go, the doctors came back to us and said “how would you like to go home tomorrow?” She went on to explain that they will stop the IV nutrition today to see if he can eat enough on his own to maintain the proper blood levels. They will check tomorrow morning to see where the levels are and hopefully send us home. Hooray! Woo Hoo! Hallelujah!

I explained to Judah that we might get to go home tomorrow, and he said that he wanted to stay here. I told him the his family really wanted to have him home, but he replied “I want to stay where there’s a play room.”

To celebrate, we went by the food pantry here and picked up some ice cream to eat. When we got back to our room, Judah decided he was tired of the bed and that he wanted to sit in my chair to eat his ice cream and watch TV.

So our goal for today, is to make sure Judah eats plenty of food to in order to prove to the doctors that everything inside is doing what it is supposed to do. If all goes well, we can reunite our family after about 12 days apart.
