...that the Lord has made. We will be glad and rejoice in it! Happy Sunday everybody.
I actually soaked in the hot bath and slept in a real bed last night. I breathed in the fresh air outside and felt the sun beat on my face. It is a great day. Funny what all of that can do for ones attitude and well being.
I got back here to Seth's NEW room this morning about 9. Seth had only been awake a short time, and Jeff had been up since 7:30.
Dr. Shabaan (Dr. S's partner, only met him yesterday) came and talked with Seth. Great guy, was kidding around with him and they shared Cub stories. With him was the side kick. Man I have to find out that guys name again. He is the one that comes in everyday and every time I scream! Behind those two came Dr. Bishop and she resident. They may have to hook Seth back up to the IV. He is at risk of dehydration. It is complicated. They are going to get him to drink electrolyte drinks ie. Pediacare (not likely) or Gatorade (we will go to WalMart and buy for him). He is to try and push all fluids besides the above named. On the food department, it's not going too well. Seth has no appetite now. Last thing he ate was the 1/2 grilled cheese at 6 last night and is still not hungry at all. We will not be going home tomorrow. Maybe Tuesday.
BUT Dr. Bishop and Dr. Shabaan both agreed that Seth needs to get out of here for a little bit. Dr. Bishop is especially good about this type of thing. He treats the patient as a whole person. They are going to give Seth a pass to the mall and has prescribed something nice be purchased for Seth at perhaps BEST BUY. Seth is all for getting that prescription filled. I'm sure I can probably find something I need at the MALL too. (Jeff is thrilled) just kidding, he doesn't care.
So we are going to try and get some fluids and maybe a little food in Seth. REST. Take a shower. REST. Then get a wheelchair and take Seth down to the entrance. REST. Walk him to the car in the Valet area, then off to Best Buy. I have no doubt that it will be the shortest shopping trip we've ever taken. Then we'll head back to UICH and REST. I truly believe this will be good for Seth to get out and actually enjoy a day. It's been a long time. If you remember even before the surgery Seth was feeling really bad (stress) from Wednesday April 23rd on. It's been a long time coming! We'll give you guys the full report when we get back. Love to all of you, May God make His face to shine upon you today. Enjoy. Seth, Vic and Jeff
