Today was a very off day for Zachary. He didn't sleep well during the night and then around 630 am the little baby in the bed next to him went into respiratory distress so he was woken up by a cart call, and about 10-15 people rushing in and all this noise. He was scared during that but I was right there to explain it was ok the baby should be ok. The rest of the day he worried about the little guy until we saw the grandma in the lobby and she said he is ok but in ICU.
Zachary was very short tempered yesterday and I wa very frustrated because nothing I did was right even though I was doing what he was asking of me. He didn't eat much and we kept telling him he needs to eat if he wants to go home.
We have been icing his foot and his groin area due to swelling. He is enjoying the ice packs and will ring the bell about every 1 1/2 hr to tell them he needs new ice. Zach only got up 1x to the wheelchair as because he was miserable. No sense in pushing him when he is in a mood. Later in the evening they had to pull his iv and start another one. The one in his left arm blew. He was a trooper and did very well during it. The only thing he uses the iv for is his antibiotic. Everything else is oral and he is doing pretty good with it all. He hasn't needed to much pain med which is good but on the other hand he won't verbalize if he is in pain so we kinda just play it by ear. I think he had the valum only once yesterday so another good sign (no spasms and no anxiety). We are waiting for the Dr. to come in Monday AM to see when we might go home. They also need to cut his cast AGAIN!!!!!!!! Yes I said again because when he has to go to the bathroom there is no way its going to happen. I know he is tiny but man they really made the openings tiny on him. LOL
I will keep you all posted as we get closer to being discharged.
