They did not release her little man today and plans are for tomorrow. They wanted to do injected steroids for one more day and then see how he did on oral steroids tonight. How he does tonight determines if he goes home tomorrow, but the expectations are that he will take to the oral steroids well and be released.
VW got about 2.5 hours of sleep last night. I have a feeling that was not continuous, but rather in total. Her little man did sleep well, but it's difficult to sleep in the hospital as an adult, as I think most of you know. People always coming in and out, noise on the floor above or from the room across the hall.
I think the highlight of our night came about 10:00 last night. Little man had fallen asleep, she was lying next to him, holding him, I was sitting in a chair nearby, ready to spring into action if she needed anything.
She was saying what a day it had been. Her stomach was still a mess with the flu, she was feeling faint, her refrigerator at the house broke, her two year old missed her, her little man was sick and here they were in the hospital. We went through the list, chuckling at what a mess the day had been. We fell silent in the darkness, I was sitting there trying to think of something positive to say about her day. Finally I said, "Well, at least you're not pregnant!" She laughed and said, "Oh my! Can you imagine?! All this and being pregnant too?!"
Ack. No.
Her spirits are good, her little man is busy, she's ready to go home... we'll see what tonight brings, but I do believe it will be a good night and my hopes are that they do get released in the morning... although I do know some of it depends on how the chest XRays came out this afternoon.
I will update as I can. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers for her little man and her.
And... thank you from the bottom of my heart for the comments you left her. It choked me up and made my eyes well when I saw such an outpouring from everyone.
