Brendan had a decent night of sleep overnight. He had several times where he woke up needing suctioning, and many times where one of the monitors or machines alarmed or beeped and woke him. He had a great nurse and RT in the CVICU that took care to let him get as much rest as possible. They helped me get a few scattered hours of sleep too.
Brendan woke up this morning still seeming weak and tired but he was definitely improved. As the day went on, he took two more solid naps and just kept steadily improving. He started taking interest in his favorite things again, like his sport-top water bottle.
He even started teasing me with little almost-smiles.
He played with his favorite apps too. I was just happy to see him alert.
He even broke out super-concentrating face
Hour by hour, he kept improving. This is how he tells everyone that he is ready to go home – standing/cruising around in the crib, and suctioning his own mouth.
After trying to do a day of work and watch Trevor at the same time, Bill came to pick us up to go home. Trevor immediately went for the remote control.
“Do they at least have cable in this joint?”
He also sorted oral care kits
Brendan isn’t in the corner because he is in trouble, it is just a tight fit with The Whale in the elevator!
Trevor had to bring his own ride
We’re outta here!
I think I am starting to hallucinate because I am so tired. My eyes want to cross. I hope Brendan has a really good day tomorrow, we are so glad to have him home again.
YAY for going home! Let the recovery begin! I’m so glad he didn’t have to stay long this time or have to take a lot of medications.
Trevor is real trooper, too, with all of the changes, running to the hospital, Mommy and Daddy coming and going… Maybe things can return to normal, everyone can get well (and stay well). You have a busy August coming up!
I hope you all can rest, and take a deep breath that you made it through yet another scary and stressful situation.
It’s time for things to start moving forward again!
Lots of love, healing wishes, hugs and kisses,
Gramma 🙂
Oh how I love that super concentration face. What would you do without Trevor helping so eagerly. What a happy day everyone in the same place at the same time again. Blessings and Health
So thankful he’s home again. Praying that no more incidents will happen, and that you are feeling better , too, Tiffanie.
There are days when things just seem to happen in strangely coincidental ways.
I wanted to listen to some music I haven’t heard in a long time, so I put on a record ( yes, 33 1/3 rpm record ) of music from the TV show “Victory at Sea”, while the computer was waking up and loading the blog.
I get back to the computer, and there’s Brendan, looking happy, healthy, and 😮 going home ?!?! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 “Victory”, Brendan, indeed ! 😉 🙂
Good afternoon from the East Coast!! WOO-HOO!!!! Family is together again!!!!
Rest, recuperate and feel better!! Prayers, hugs and love!! 🙂
