Hospitalization #9 - Day 3

Reinforcements have arrived!!! GG made it in today from Atlanta and took over for Rob at the hospital so we will be able to be at home together for a day or two. We're so grateful to her for coming to help out whenever we need it, and grateful that my dad is gracious about being without her for the week so she can be here.

Not much to report today. Brett is just getting the IV antibiotics and we're waiting out the weekend. He is not feeling much better yet. He's distressed about being here - we can tell because he wants to be held constantly and he cries when we even go out of the room for a second. Whenever the door opens he starts to cry because he is just so tired of being messed with. I can certainly understand how he must feel, and why he just wants mommy or daddy or GG to hold him. He did feel well enough to do a little playing in the bed today. We don't have any toys there right now, so he improvised a little with a wisk and a bowl. It's not a terribly exciting video, but cute nonetheless.

  3. Now, Jennifer!!!! You KNOW that your dad is happy to sacrifice GG for a few days for you and your little familly . . .as GG is happy to be able to take some of the load! Why I'm even happy to sacrifice our morning phone calls knowing that she's there with Brett!!!

    And if Mommy's & Daddy's not there - GG works just fine!

    That video is absolutely precious! He's loving that noise, huh? As Leslie said, "the best toys are not always toys!!!"

    Yep - he's getting old enough now to equate the hospital with discomfort/pain. . .my heart breaks that he (and you) has to suffer these ordeals - but I'm glad science has come far enough to make this ailment more tolerable.

    Still praying for you ALL.
