Hospital stay

Nothing says fun like an all liquid diet.

What are the odds he gets a room with soccer pics? He was content to stay in the hospital. After all, they had cable and a channel dedicated to movies. It also helped that he had mom or dad all to himself for a couple of hours every day.

They have a new thing they do with kids and IV's. There is this vial that looks like a shot but it doesn't have a needle. They put pressure against where they want to put the IV. They press down and it sounds like a really loud whooshing sound. It numbs the area so they can put in the IV. I guess it gets in through the skin like a gas.

This is a good thing because they tried his left arm before they finally got a vein in the right. He didn't cry or anything, he was too busy watching Igor.

This is the view out of his window. He got to stay on the fifth floor.

Take a look at where I got cut. Imagine him trying to show this to his family without showing other things. Not so easy is a hospital gown with no undies.

Just passing the time.

His first meal was lunch (see pic). Followed by mac and cheese for dinner and lunch and dinner the next day. Umm, can someone find another food that is considered soft that isn't mac and cheese? I know he was hungry because he actually ate some of the mashed potatoes.
