Going in shortly

I am going to see Wren while Josh gets an hour or so more sleep.

We saw him last night from 9-10pm and when we came in he was awake and eating a popsicle. Of course, as soon as we came the tantrums started. He wanted more numnums, to get up (he rolled onto his tummy to stand up twice yesterday) and wants the nasal cannula gone because his itchy nose is driving him nuts (narcotics cause this!)

We were very encouraged at how alert, communicative and more himself he was.

We managed to get him to rest without ativan but he couldnt' settle to sleep so we left after he received his Tordol, Benedryl, Ativan and something else I forget which is supposed to help with something else I forget too.

He was still raising his LAPS but not as much. He may have still been affected by Versed earlier (which decreases LAPs) but it would have been a while before. He liked to watch Bob the Builder on his overhead TV and was commenting on "rain" "yucky" and "Muck" on the screen. He also liked the bubbles the nurse gave us and made a valiant effort to pop them despite all the encumbrances on his arms. It was hard but we managed to get a number of bubbles in range for him.

He is now much more targeted in the lines he tries to pull out and was very upset when we told him that the red beads on his lines were not lollipops and he could not eat them.

I hope he has had a good night. The nurse was going to try and wean the nasal cannula from .5 litre O2 so it could stop bugging him.
