Today seems to be going quite a bit better. Last night remained a little rough as he was given something to make him pee. And he did and he did and he did J. And then he needed to inside the bathroom which required moving ALL the furniture to get him through with all his IV things. So we slept in till 9:30. Tomorrow Dad is going to come back. He has come to the conclusion that this is his place, Not only does he do it better, Elliott prefers him. And he said he was rested and ready to return. The doctor said that tomorrow may be even worse than yesterday so frankly, I am tickled he is returning. They are going to have to give Elliott the same stuff he got yesterday and many times it is worse. I am off Monday and may or may not take it. Let’s see how quick I bounce back from this stress. He is currently sleeping at 1:15 and I am pooped also so I am signing off for now. I will try to update later.
I am sitting on the pullout bed in the dark so Elliott can sleep. He had another rather rough evening. Itchy skin and loose bathroom issues, exhaustion but not wanting to sleep,water retention, irritable and not wanting or able to eat. Throw in constant beeping of the million hookups, different nurses with different personalities, several hospital complainants that I will not bore you with and on and on and on. There is little rest for him or I and although I have been rather calm for hating a locked little room, I am scared with all that is happening to this child. And he is getting angry. Actually it is about time but it is intense and scary. Right now I see a scared and sad little boy and if this brings tears to your eyes, you owtta be sitting here next to him, the child that I carried for many months. I cannot even breathe at times, knowing what he is going through and what could happen. All I can say is Thank you Dan for coming tomorrow. I don’t know how you can do this but I am failing miserably. And for that I am so sorry. I think my heart is breaking in two and there is no superglue around.
