Last day in the hospital!

Slept pretty well last night aside from the vital checks and medicine.    Pretty tired, actually.  Me and Jackson. 

Colin is on his way from home.


Jackson's got some rosy cheeks this morning.    I think they are rosy in a good way - not an "I have fever" way.  It is like 1 million degrees in the room.  Whew.   I have sweated out some baby weight.  

He took his medicine really well this morning after a midnight FREAK OUT over taking some ibuprofen.   He takes after his mom in so many ways ... like not being such a jolly person when he is woken up.   Whoa.    Thought I was going to have to hold him down to get him to stop spitting the medicine all over me and his face and his nurse.  Really?  I didn't anticipate tylenol and motrin being the arch enemies in this whole process.    Anyway, he left me in tears by the end of it.   Then he calmed down and asked me if I was said because I missed my daddy.   More tears.   Tried to suck it up; I know he was wondering, "Why did my daddy leave me with the crazy emotional lady instead of staying here with me?"   Anyway, when he woke up all the way, and calmed down, we were able to talk about the medicine, and how he needed to take it to feel better and get home.  Same fight over the breathing thingee that the respiratory therapist brought.  

Ready to get this iv out of his hand and get the heck home.   It's all so weird going back to a brand new house.  I keep picturing us going home to our old house.   And then I remember that we sold it.   Then I picture the apartment.   Then I remember we have a big new house full of boxes and lots of projects : )   Looking forward to getting settled.  Looking forward to being HOME.

Haven't heard anything about how long we will be here.   Just have to wait and see when the cardiologist stops by.
