After a not too restful first night on "the floor" Braxton and I were up for the day by 7a.m. I forgot how early things get moving in the hospital. Doctor's rounds at 7, breakfast by 7:30, nurses taking more vitals by 7:45... Braxton is in good spirits and walking better with the leg that has 2 large incisions. He hauls his tangle of wires, tubes and a hydration bag (all on a metal stand with wheels) everywhere he goes. It's becoming a part of him. Not too much happens when you're just waiting for something to happen. But, Today is SUPER HERO DAY on the peds floor! Batman and Bat Girl leap into the doorway to invite Braxton to the SuperHero party in the afternoon. We took pics and they leaped out of the door, leaving behind a SuperHero balloon and gift bag. Next...2 folks came to visit with therapy dogs. Braxton enjoyed petting Sunny (a very large Briard sp?) and Cocoa the Yorkie who could do flippy tricks for Life cereal treats. His day got more exciting when Brad came to have male bonding time and watch NCAA basketball. Braxton filled out his bracket with his grandpa Bruce and changed some of the picks. Brax is 8-0 so far!! I went home to grab a shower, do some laundry and answer some calls and e-mails. After a quick trip to Target for soda and movie snacks, Bayley and I return to the U. for movie night. Zoe and Emma are staying home with David tonite.
We've been told that Brax will get to go home on saturday instead of monday. Good news! He can be home for Easter!
