Brendan was significantly better today, in that he was awake, alert, playful, and breathing a little better. He is still on 5L of oxygen, getting his breathing treatments every four hours, getting lots of pain meds and he is on his steroid treatment. It was so good to see his eyes open and his naughty smile though.

Trevor was as cranky as ever, so we did an outing. I didn’t know where to take him in this weather, so I thought he would like a long drive across town, and then we would stop at Cabela’s and see the fish and animals. He was crabby in the car, so I am sorry we drove so far. But he liked the store.

We originally thought we might get lunch at Cabela’s but decided to stop at the Rainforest Cafe, thinking Trevor might like it. I forgot how loud and obnoxious it was. Trevor did not know if he should be scared or impressed, but he just stared and took it all in and ate his lunch.

Brendan was feeling sassy enough to ride on his rocking horse

He’s a tough guy

Don’t mess with tough Brendan

There was a time when he would not touch the horse because the mane was too fuzzy. Now, he knows how to squeeze the ear to turn it on

Brendan was pretty wired tonight, the steroid makes it hard for him to get to sleep. He was being all goofy and crazy instead of rocking and going to bed. He finally let go and went to bed by 9:30. Here’s a few shots from spy cams to finish the post.
