(And yes, I had to go out last night, after the snow started and the roads iced, to get the milk.)
…This is the first time he’s gotten interested in the snow, and naturally, it’s the best snow in 5+ years in Nashville, with William in a spica cast that can’t get wet.
Shawn, The Balloon Guy bravely decided to battle the forces of copyright and Walt Disney’s Empire by making a hat for William, that I’m sure is NOT Mickey Mouse. He doesn’t normally do something of this scale, especially on a crowded night, but as predicted, William got an excellent Balloon animal once the cast was revealed.
William slept well last night. He started waking around 3 and after the third time, I picked him up and fell back on the guest bed. I think he just needed to be in a new position which the cast won’t allow for and you can’t just roll him over in the crib. [...]
Back down to the pond to feed the geese, take advantage of the nice weather, and get out of the house!
…The Wagon does a pretty good job of moving him when he’s laying down, but it doesn’t seem to do as good of a job as the modified stroller.
We slept in a bit but are up. I gave William some motrin and he is playing. Definitely a 2 cups of coffee morning for me! I guess we’ll switch over to his loratab in the afternoon. He can be so stoic that it is hard to tell when he is [...]
It was an okay day and everything seemed to be going alright. ARC of Franklin put me in contact with the United Cerebral Palsy equipment room which loans an assortment of wheelchairs and things. They do have 2 car seats but they are both checked out right now. Greg and I will [...]
She brought a blowup chair that we thought would be good for the configuration of his cast, but it just wasn’t stable with him in it.
…We’ve tried to get him to go to sleep a few times now, and every time we think we have it, he’s woken up crying, screaming and being VERY upset.
This was in the “What’s going on here” post, but I’m going to separate it out so that I can sticky that post at the top for a while.
… He’s done real well today, although since he still didn’t eat anything until the chicken, both Jeffie and I are awaiting the dreaded bowel movement in the cast.
After we try a few things and have a discussion, despite his concerns he goes on his tummy.
…He had a movement Sunday night, but frankly we were too tired to do much more than change it and try to get back to sleep.
Ah, Friday night. A long week, trip to Mexico through a monsoon season delay ridden Houston, but it’s finally FRIDAY!
So, let’s spend Friday Night at …. The Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital’s Operating Room!
