Hopkins has an alcove on the first floor of the Children's center that is filmed and broadcast, 24/7, on Channel 60. Originally, channel 60 was created for children to wave or hold up signs to ther siblings who were hospitalized. The sound isn't activated, most of the time. They did have a Milkshake concert ( so cool) there last week that was broadcast for kids to watch. There is no sign indicating that this area is filmed. Most often people are walking by, sitting and chatting, eating or sleeping in the area- all broadcast on channel 60. I often pause at channel 60 to see what's up. I am fairly certain that it becomes rated R in the wee hours of the night. Yesterday, while channel surfing for an approved cartoon (we are a bit picky about what H watches), I paused on channel 60 and was telling Hayden about it. Lucky us, there was a guy sittig there doing some work on his lap top. And picking his nose. And examining it. And eating it. And repeat, several times. Fortunaty, H's nurse appreciated this incident with me. It was fabulous.
Nothing much new with Hayden. He is a bit backed up, again. We are working on that. His left leg was sore from he cath. We have hime a day off to chill. He will get back to work this morning. They are trying to boost his caloric intake and get him off of all IV nutrients. Yesterday it was decided that he should eat at least 3 meals a day and drink three bottles of Pediasure. This would be ok, except the child has only been allowed to eat for two day stretches. After that, something happens and they do not allow him to eat. So, he got down almost 3 bottles of Pediasure and then threw up a bit. His stomach just isn't used to mass quantities, yet. Plus, he is backed up and bloated- big buddah belly, again. We will continue to work on that today.
He slept well overnight and was playing Ms. Pacman with Rob at about 6 am.
Looking forward to more peace, calm amd slow progress. And kisses. I like kisses, from Hayden; not the nose picker.
Snook- Hope to see you today.
Dicky Brannigan- yes, Hayden would LOVE to see you. Aside from, Rob,Pop, and Papou, you are his favorite guy to snuggle up and kiss.
