About 9:00 I came in to hang with Jack Jack Attack for the night. Apparantly Angel laid down the law before I got here, because he is out like a light and behaving properly for the most part. His nurse and I talked about our big plans for the night which so far includes: Giving him a tubby around 11, showing me how to clean and administer meds through his feeding tube so I can be a bigger help to Angel and Rob when he gets to go home, and working on raising his blood pressure a bit. It was a little low when they took it with the cuff on his leg and even lower when they tried it on his arm. The tech went out and got another machine to use that produced a BP of 63/29. They are more satisfied with this number, but will continue to monitor it frequently to make sure it keeps at LEAST within this minimum range. Other than that it appears that Charlie was tipped off to the fact that I had an energy drink rush prior to arriving, in anticipation of a possible "I am awake and you will all know about it" moment that he sometimes throws at you. I have erred. I feel like the amped up squirrel on "Over the Hedge" and as you can see in the pictures below, I am hangin out with mellow yellow! Anyway, I love hanging out with this sweet boy and could watch his angelic face sleeping for hours on end!
P.S. I may be flooding the blog with posts tonight. We ADD people have to keep busy and a girl can only read books for so long! I apologize now for any excess posts about nothing I conjure up throughout the night! -Shani
