Day 9; In the Money

First things first. We came in second, thanks to UNC, and one some cash:-)
Sorry to post so late in the day. Now that Hayden is awake, Rob and I are tag teaming. He is doing nights and I am doing days. Rob likes nights. It is quieter at the hospital and he doesn't have to deal with visitors( no offense visitors). He can just hang out, work, check mail, etc. He is more comfortable with me dealing with medical matters. And he is a good day sleeper. With that said, I didn't get much time to leave Hayden and post. So, I am posting and going to bed so I can relieve Rob around 7am.
Hayden is doing great. He is SLOWLY getting his voice back and transitioning to oral medications. Today was a day of " tweaking" things, but that is fine by us.Adding in his blood thinner and getting the dosage right will take time. He is still really tired, but has been off of pain meds for 36 hours. We aren't seeing any signs of addiction, so we may be in the clear. He isn't even taking Tylenol. He is hard core:-)He has some fluid around his lungs. This is pretty typical, but they are just watching it. He sipped some water today and will try a popsicle tonight... if he is awake. He has been twitching his nose like a bunny, and it turns out that his lips are chapped and bothering him. We slathered him with some Bert;s Bees and he is more content. ( I thought he had sen too many Easter candy commericals!) He still has some things to work out, but we are moving forward.

Jen Burns, I got your message and yes, you did post:-) Yay!!!!!

Murphy's, hope you did OK with the alarm. The police didn't call, so I guess you did. Or you are in jail. Someone check on them.

Passover begins on Wednesday Evening. Oddly, it is one of Hayden's favorite holidays. Probably becaue he doesn't actually keep it ;-)

Off to nighty, night land.
I will post tomorrow during the day.
Keep up the thoughts and prayers. They are wonderful. ( And so are you guys!)
