Hi, It's 12:40. Seth got some sleep this morning and seems to have peace in his soul. He was shaken by the things that were going on through the night. Actually nothing has change in his physical condition, but he is very upbeat and positive now. He was actually joking with his nurse Liz and had her laughing.
I believe that when he becomes a doctor that he will be able to have true compassion and empathy for his patients when they go through this stuff, right?
He says he's not going to become a surgeon, "Their hours suck", but maybe a Gastroentrologist wouldn't be so bad.
I ordered him some lunch. Here they don't bring meal trays. Whenever you want something you just pick up the phone and dial 1-2-3 and order anything off the menu. It makes it really nice. All Seth has gotten in the past 2 days is toast and 1 lime sherbert he could eat. Today I ordered him some chicken noodle soup and applesauce. A vanilla pudding for dessert. We'll see how he does. He really hasn't had anything but toast since last Monday night, January 28th. He was already thin as a rail. He is hungry, just causes so much pain, it's not worth it.
Well Seth has a delivery! A lovely vase of beautfully arranged cut flowers with a purple ribbon. It has yellow flowers in the arrangement as well. Purple and Gold are the colors of PCS, how appropriate. Along with the arrangement is a nice gift bag. I will help him open by reading the card. Thank you Ruthi, Claude, Vicky, Addie and Kate. You guys are great :) In the bag are Life Saver candy, Lemon drops, Chocolate covered Graham Crackers, Several different kinds of Chocolates, Gourmet Carmel Corn, Pretzle Party Snack Mix and more gourmet chocolates. Seth has a smile on his face now. He says he'll share a little. You guys that is such a thoughtful gift. Some of the things he can definetly eat now and more for later as his health improves.
His lunch came and he ate a few bites of the soup, all the toast, and 1/2 the applesauce. Time will tell how it settles. It looks like it might be naptime for him again. Bye, V
Chris & Tina ~ your post last night has run through my thought many, many times. God has blessed me through then 2 of you.
What a surprise to get a post from Anita, and Dave & Dawn and Connie. Hi to all. We love hearing from all of you. It TRUELY is the highlight of our day. Most of the day is spent in a dark room so Seth can sleep. I can check the blog without disturbing him. Love, V
