Weekend

We made it through the weekend. J continues to improve. They have put him on solid foods. Okay this is funny..... Yesterday was actually the first attempt at food and what do they bring him for lunch? Chilli and cornbread!!! Are you kidding. This is for someone that hasn't eaten in almost a week, has had infections galore, plus he can't digest corn. DUGH! Thankfully they are willing to get j to eat anything, so yogurts, ice cream and puddings are what we are trying to get him to eat. But J is a picky eater, so hopefully they don't keep him due to not eating. I can get him to eat at home. The doctors were almost considering letting J go home today (I know, a tender mercy from our Heavenly Father) but last night he ran a pretty high tempeture and they don't know what caused it. So they are doing some X-rays to see if the phnemonia is acting up again. He is on a pretty powerful kill all antibiotic to rid his body of everything that is yucky. So another puzzlement that J has thrown at them. He will see the physical therapist to get back on his feet and to asses his strength. His arms are strong, we already know that (remember the tubes he pulled out?) so it's just reminding his legs what to do again. A long road to recovering, but we have started, and that's all that matters. P.S. sometime I'll blog about how we got the first smile out of him after coming out of sedation.
