Progress, more progress

Yesterday, Eleve came home: she was exhausted. Hospitals just aren't places to recharge and enjoy yourself. She had a bad go at it. Lee Roy's CT was delayed and he was upset because he couldn't feed. (If he spit up during the CT he'd down himself.) And as she was leaving to come home, she accidentally locked her keys in the car. Poor girl. Anyway they had a resident pick lock at the hospital, I guess that sort of things happens fairly often. And it didn't slow her down too much.

Eleve is doing much better being at home surrounded by her children. She recuperated a lot, and is much more positive this morning.

We called the hospital for a status today. He's doing very well. The CT showed that the fluid build up had reached an equalibrium, and had stablized. They didn't need to drain again. Also the size of his head hasn't changed in the last 3 days. Were hoping that he's on the upward climb again.

The nurse said they've taken out the feeding tube, and feeding him when he's hungry, which is about 2oz every 3 hours. This is wonderful news. The nurse also said that he's much more comfortable and that they've removed him from all IV feedings, and drugs. The only drug he is still taking is the seizure medicine, which is an oral drug.

While Eleve was at the hospital she took these pictures:
