Greyson continues to “come out of the fog” of the narcotics and every day acts more like the boy we knew before being transfered to the PICU.\u00a0 It’s amazing how getting sick set him back in his development.\u00a0 Today he was kicking his legs and swinging his arms and making a very unhappy face, everything a baby should be doing.\u00a0 Then I changed his poopy diaper and he was very happy and continued everything stated above, but with a smile.\u00a0 Speaking of poop (which I have come\u00a0 to realize we haven’t talke about for quite some time) yesterday Greyson had a major blow out and I was not careful enough when I wrapped it up so as I took it to the scale (yeah do to Greyson’s situation we are blessed not only with the daiper, but we get to weigh all of them before throwing them in the garbage, oh joy!) it leaked out and pooped all over my hand!!\u00a0 Now as I have stated before Greyson and I have a pact, no pooping or peeing on dad.\u00a0 He’s upheld his part of the agreement so far, unfortunately I have to be more careful if I want to keep it off me!<\/p>\n

Today we took Greyson for another walk.\u00a0 We had to stay on his floor but did laps around the hall by the PICU.\u00a0 The great thing was that he was awake this time!\u00a0 He really seemed to like it.\u00a0 He just kept looking all around like, wow we are moving around a lot and there is a lot of stuff to see, could this be the “world outside my room” that my parents are always talking about?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Greyson’s ventilator comes in and will be delivered to the hospital (pray this happens, if something goes wrong he doesn’t come home on Thursday!).\u00a0 We will also take over his care tomorrow around noon and will live in his room with him providing all his care for 48 hours.\u00a0 While there is a pull out couch that makes into a bed (which I’m very familiar with as that is what I slept on for the 2 weeks before Greyson was born while Stacy was in the hospital on her head) one of us will have to be awake the whole time.\u00a0 It’s OK if we nod off for a minute or two, but basically we have to be there to do everything which means we have to be awake and on top of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we are also meeting with the nursing company, and one of the nurses who will be working with us.\u00a0 Pray that they can line up the remainder of the nursing before Thursday so Stacy and I will not have to carry extra care duty and can find some times to sleep.\u00a0 Alright, Lord willing this will be the last update from home (I came home for tonight to go to my men’s group and staff meeting in the morning, Stacy is still in Tacoma) as starting tomorrow, we aren’t leaving Greyson’s room till we can take him with us!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
