Friday morning - 11:45 am update

Good Morning!

Well, I can report that Paul and I, and Grandma and Grandpa all slept soundly last night. I think that's about it for the sleeping. Holly and Henry had a bit of a restless evening in the ICU with a different machine beeping about every 30 minutes. Holly was very happy this morning....she had a few words with the nice nurses during the evening!

Henry was off to MRI this morning about 8:00. He was sedated again for the MRI and bone density scan, and hopefully this will be the last time he needs to be put to sleep. It's hard on the little guy to get that all out of his system. He is sleeping soundly now still in ICU.

Great news is that he has been 'cleared' to leave the ICU for a regular room!! We are just waiting for a vacancy to come available on the 5th floor so we can move to our next home. The 5th floor is supposed to be home to some of the 'nicer' rooms and the best nurses in the hospital, so we are anxious to get there!

We talked to Lane and Sam this morning and they are having a great time with Miss Mandy. It is a huge relief to hear their happy, content voices. They were making cinnamon rolls, watching Spongebob and getting ready to go swim at the Aquatic Center...what could be better?!? I miss them so much ~ I even miss Stella (kind of).

The hospital staff has really been amazing during our stay. This place is overflowing with kindness and generosity and love for children. A lady named Jennifer came yesterday to make sure Henry was comfortable and happy. She let us know that she can get Henry whatever he would like to make his stay the best it can be.....special toys, food, etc. Wow. Keep the good thoughts and prayers flowing. We should be able to tell a little better today what is going to happen (or NOT happen) with the seizures.....this is the scariest part for me now. More updates real soon.
