Never ending roller coaster .........

Good thing I like roller coasters and not afraid of them. Keifer has taken a few bits of food and had some chocolate milk. He had a chest xray today that came out good and his blood work came back with potassium a little low and sodium..... so meds today and he had to take potassium orally ..... for those who remember I had to take potassium last year after my relapse from surgery ... it made me sick and had to switch to IV ... yeah he is just like his mother .... I held him down(fun) and nurse used a syringe and gave it to him .... he threw most of it up. Dr. came around and said it could be 2-3 more days ...... devastated. They are not concerned right now with food intake ... it is common after his surgery to not want to eat for a while he is drinking enough to stay hydrated and they check his blood work daily. History shows that they eat when they are ready and usually after they get home. He has walked three times today already mostly at his request. We received a wonderful gift in the mail from a coworker in LAX that saw my posts on our work website ... a huge Thomas book with stickers and two very sweet cards to each of us..... thank you very much!! Also you can send Keifer mail here at hospital by email ... here is the link ... write in a message and send it and they will print it out and deliver it to our room .. we got one today from Jennifer and family .... thanks for the nice surprise !!

not enough things in the bed

Seeing this little red light during the night is comforting.
