Ok I just skimmed like a 100 pages or so it seemed and for the last 50 I've been humming barney tunes. Thanks to whoever brought that topic up.
Hope those that are in the world are having the time of their life.
Cyn sorry to hear about the toe. Hope you are getting well.
Welcome to any newbies that I may have missed.
Disunc sounds like your having a blast.
Dweatl can't wait to hear about your little green men.
Update on Cody:
Had a pretty good day. Lots of food to be had. Drank 2 tofu/peanut butter/carnation/soy milk smoothies. Actually ate some solid food also.
He did get tuckered out by 12:00 and have to nap. They were going to try and get him on a little walk tonight before bedtime.
Found him some lime green coban. He is really struggling with his incision and doesn't want anyone to see it. Thought I would put a piece of gauze on it and then put some coban to hold it. can't bear to put another piece of tape on him. It is going to take me a month to scrub off all the adhesive remnants he has. He is still pretty mad at me for taking him to the hospital and letting the doc operate. Hoping a surprise trip to wdw will help him to forgive me.
I'm hoping that he has 2 good days in a row then I'll start thinking that we are making progress. Been psyched out before by this kiddo.
I really enjoyed getting back in the Dis mode while skimming. I took my Disney books to the hospital but couldn't bear to open them. Felt like it might bring bad Karma or something to us. I'm starting to get excited again about our trip. I might even start working on getting ready in another couple of weeks if things continue. Right now we are just trying to get him some strength back so that he can have some remains of a summer. He is still scheduled to do a couple of camps and I have a birthday party to plan for him. So have to put the disney planning on the back burner for a few weeks but hopefully that is all.
Things I have learned about my son:
1. He will not be a cat person
2. He will not make beer money in college by selling plasma
3. He will not complain about any illness, ache or pain for fear of mom the nurse jumping into action
4. Trauma life in the ER will have a new level of interest for him
5. Add scar and hospital jewelry to big brown eyes and long eyelashes and you get lots of freebies.
6. Last I'm so proud of his ability to endure a difficult experience with grace and courage even though he was scared to death and never has had any experience with challenges.
so please all go and give an extra hug and I love you to your kiddos even though they sometimes drive us mad.
Ok I'm done being sappy.
Goodnight everyone. Lime green dreams to all.
