Seth's Friends, L to R Kyle Adams, Lidia Bosma, Seth, Cassie Allenbaugh and Adam Fifield. Seth had a great time with his friends today. Before they arrived he actually got to get in the shower, and then put on real clothes since the tubes were gone. They all walked down to the Child Life Room on this floor and picked out 3 games to play, walked back got set up to play and then Seth was too exhausted to play. They kicked back and watched TV and talked instead. Seth was really tired and needed a nap after all the activity so the Kids headed to the Mall.
Seth's afternoon really went sour after that. He had a very dangerous experience with a bag of Potassium that could have been REALLY REALLY BAD. God truely rescued him. It is too long of a story to go into on the computer. But trust me, it could have been.... Anyway then the IV line started to burn inside his arm enough to bring him to tears and his arm swelled to twice the size. They pulled it and started to do a flush on the IV on his right hand and it started to swell. After 3 nurses and to many terrible tries later they were unsucessful in restarting the IV. Seth has to have it for fluids (can't get enough orally right now), for antibiodics, for steriods, and for pain med's. In the end the surgeon came up and they called in a life flight nurse to attempt to start one. Well right before the LF nurse came, all of Seth's and our friends encircled his bed and prayed for him. When the nurse attempted it, she got it in the first try in his left bicep. Seth said he didn't feel a thing! See what prayer does! He is now trying to get that 2:30 nap in and it is 6:46. Bless his heart. It has been a huge day for him.
Jeff says hello to everybody, and thanks so much for all your prayers. I am getting hunger so will go to the cafeteria to look for something good, (yeah right), Jeff already ate out in resturants twice todat to avoid it. Till next time. Love V & J
