Colby has had an excellent day. No desats, no changes in levels/numbers that have us concerned, no problems whatsoever. At rounds tomorrow we'll talk about adjusting Colby's settings some. Notice I said SOME. We're not going to move the pressures and the rate both at once. We can do 1 or the other, then give Colby 24 and make sure he's okay, then do the other. Period, end of story, we're doing it Mama's way. Like I said, even though he's doing awesomely awesome, no way I'm rushing things. He's over there jabbering away watching a DVD. He definitely needs to sleep tonight. What is it with this kid and not sleeping! Oh yeah, he's in a strange place with strangers caring for him. I get it. He's not due for a cough treatment until 11:30, but we're going to have lights out as soon as I get this update done. I'm sure he'll fall asleep then it will be tmt time. Dangit, poor bubba.
Things I've learned lately:
1. What the word "copious" means (excessive, in abundance, as in Colby's secretions until a couple days ago.)
2. The 4-letter word I really hate right now: plug, as in Colby plugged, his air was cut off and here we are still in the hospital. My favorite 4-letter word right now: home, even if it is just a dumpy, cluttered apartment. Can't wait to get there.
3. I get by with a little help from my friends.
4. They should put a bar somewhere in this hospital. Forget free pizzas on Wednesdays, pass out vodka instead please.
5. I have the most loving, concerned, supportive, bestest parents on the planet.
6. I like French onion soup. It does not like me. Bleh.
7. Spongebob Squarepants has healing powers. Or at least in my kid's world he does.
8. Prayers get heard, and answered.
9. I'm ready to enjoy the cooler upcoming fall weather. If anyone wants to have a bonfire/marshmallow roast and invite Colby and me, feel free.
10. Colby's body may be weak, but his will is strong. He is the most tolerant, sweet, beautiful boy I know. MY KID IS A ROCK STAR!!
