***The next week was all a blur, so the details of this post may be incorrect.***
0730 – Joelly’s only gotten a few hours of sleep and he is out cold now. So tired he doesn’t notice the pain. So, of course the nurses all check his vitals during shift change and the doctors do the same during their rounds. He wakes back up. Bah!
1200 – Grandpa B and Aunty Karen come down to help watch Bo so that we can get some sleep when we’re not in the hospital.
1400 – Dad and Karen bring Bo to the zoo and Joelly is doing better. Hospital food is already starting to get old. We ordered food to our room for the second and last time. The chicken is like a rubber shoe.
1800 – I go home to sleep for the night. Andrea is taking this shift.
1000 – I wake up. Yes, I just slept for 12 hours.
1800 – Great news. We’re going back to the main floor, no more PICU. Good News: Joel’s getting better. Bad News: PICU nurses have a lot fewer patients per person.
