It's been a fantabulous weekend! Friday Colby and I hung out around home, no nurses during the day. My mom came over and helped me give Colby a bath, unpack some more stuff, etc. Dad came over and got my washing machine. Yeah, it has decided it's not really in the mood to spin out anymore. How super duper is that? Dad is working on taking it apart, trying to figure out what's wrong. Walgreen's Infusion came and drew labs because when Colby was discharged from the hospital, his calcium, potassium and phosphorous were all low. So we're going to have to keep a close eye on him for a few more days. You know, because we never monitor or watch him closely as it is, haha. His secretions have been crazy awful the last couple of days. I mean they are everywhere! We are constantly suctioning him and even giving him extra sets of CoughAssist because his trach sounds so gunky. Not sure if this is to be expected or not after the palmidronate infusions. I'm not losing my mind about it just yet.
I went to girls night out Friday. Did you hear me? I was able to go out with friends, do something social. There were 5 of us. Met for drinks, then went to the Haunted Hotel. OMGosh, I haven't been to one of those in probably 20 years, no exaggeration. It was a blast. No way was I going to be the leader through there. I was in the middle and was holding on to my gal pals for dear life! Honestly I think I peed myself a little when some of those creatures came jumping out. I was shouting out every 4-letter word known to man, and I think I even came up with a new few ones! Then we went to a bar for a couple of drinks. Luckily we were the only ones at this establishment, as some very horrible karaoke and pool playing ensued once we got there. Now I can officially say I've done karaoke! Amazing how much nerve you have after a couple of beers and you're surrounded by only friends and the bartenders!
I worked at the hospital yesterday. When I got home the nurse and I gave Colby a bath. Sat him up, let him use his eye gaze. He used to tell this joke all the time about a pencil. Now he has a new one: how does a deaf fish hear? With a herring aide!! Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard? He'll tell that joke, then he'll look at the bottom of his eye gaze and choose the buttons that say, "ha-ha-ha" and "that's funny". All the crap he deals with in life, and he still manages to have a sense of humor. You gotta love that kid, he is so awesomely awesome.
I'm going to a wedding tonight. One of my BFF's is getting hitched. Not that I'm a huge fan of the "M" word, but I'm very happy for her. She's been a typical stressed out bride to be lately, which is completely understandable. Looks like the weather will be perfect. I hope everything goes well. Please Lord, no silly snafus, and am looking forward to visiting/celebrating at the reception. Two social events in one weekend, what has gotten into me?!
