Day Two

Thanks to Lori for the book and Sheri and Sarah for the bag of goodies, love the lady bugs!
Dayton was here to help us go for a walk
She loved the Dora that he brought her. I am cracking up at this picture! Poor Baby!
This morning she is a bit more perkier, and obstinate!
Bed Sweet Bed
Oh my, what a long night! Or should I say short, not sure which seems most appropriate. Myah just would not go to sleep last night, no matter if her drugs were in her or not, she isn't going to give in for anything! We were up every hour at least, she would start to cough and it is so painful then she would cry and make her cough even worse. I slept in a chair, Mark slept in a chair that turned into a lounger. Neither was comfortable but we would fall asleep, I think just plain exhaustion. Then the door would open or she would wake up, or the iv would start beeping, or it was time for meds. Anyhow, the Dr. came in at 7 and said she looks good, he is concerned with the fever and wants to make sure it is down before he will let us leave. She also needs to drink 3-4 ounces of fluid, yeah right. I am breaking down and giving her Sprite-ish pop, it is the only thing that is motivating her to sip. She took about 4 bites of a pancake and that was about it. Her strong willed personality is even worse when she is tired I have learned! She is talking a bit more today, not much but enough to make me realize that she is a bit more "with it " today. I feel so bad for her, I know it hurts so bad! The nurses are in love with her, they have told us that she is the best T&A (tonsils and adenoids people!) patient that they have ever had. She takes her medicine for them we will see about it once we get home! We are getting slap happy, last night around 2am the nurse came in and said she was down with the other T&A patient, wishing that he was a good as Myah. Mark thought she said Tina, after she left Mark said " I thought she was calling Myah, Tina, I was about to tell her that this isn't Tina, you better not be giving her Tina's medication, this is Myah". It sounds so dumb now but we were cracking up all night, still today actually. We also keep laughing about how when we got in her room the nurse was writing our names on the board and she asked me what we want to be called, I wasn't paying attention to what she was doing and I was trying to figure out why she would want our number to call us when we were going to be here the whole time, so I said,"well, I guess you can have my cell number" Mark said "Leslie she wants our names." I felt so dumb! I love that man, we sure can get through times like this with humor thankfully!

I am hoping that we can get home soon, I think Myah will rest much better there. She is so tired. Well, I will close for now, just bored and trying to wait out these last few hours here. The lady just dropped off the menu for tomorrow and I told her we won't be here, she said she would leave it just in case, lets pray that we are out of here! We are going to have a rough few weeks, they said in about 4 days it will be worse for her when they start to scab over. Yikes! Lord give me strength!
