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.
Giddyup Brendan! You’re making progress, a little at a time. And progress for Trevor too. Rainforest Cafe can be a lot to take in, but he didn’t panic or scream, so his curiosity won out. Keep healing everyone!
Good morning from the Lake House. Whew!! Brendan does look so much better! Keep healing little man!! Your efforts are paying off!! Just cannot imagine how fatigued you must be…hoping that you will find a little time to re-boot your systems with some rest!!?? I see that Brendan too has cute outfits as shown in the spy cam pics…just like his cousin Kieran!! Prayers, hugs and much love!! 🙂
It’s great to see Brendan riding the horse and smiling and being “tough guy”! He definitely looks much better, and how wonderful that he fought this one off at home! YAY, Brendan! 🙂
I’m glad that Trevor enjoyed his outing to Cabela’s once you got there. Rainforest Cafe can be a little strange and overwhelming. Ashley had a love/hate relationship with the big crocodile outside the entrance that looked as thoughit could eat small children! She loved it when she got older. Now they took it out of Gurnee Mills here.
What nice peaceful spy cam pictures. I hope that’s how the rest of your night went!
Lots of love and hugs,
Gramma xxxx
