Today was the a wonderful day.
Yesterday, I took my kids school shopping, and stayed home and had dinner with them and Shannon was there with us. She left, and I of course called the hospital and talked to Heather his day nurse who is great, and she told me he was still sleeping. They were still getting test results back, but thought that they had wore him out with breathing on his own. I also had talked to Martha, who told me the same. I also talked to Truc on the night shift , who said the same...sleeping. So I stayed with the kids, and it was my first day off.
I got to the hospital a bit before 10 am, and when I went in he was asleep on his t thingy. I took his hand and put my hand on the side of his face, and when he turned his head into my hand, I hoped it was because he knew I was there. I put his hand down, to get something and he raised it to the elbow, looking for me. I took it again, put it down, and again he raised it looking for me. He woke, in pain though, and I talked with his nurse, Keelie today, and she said he really didn't sleep last night real well. They think he was wore out from breathing, and the methadone was finally wearing off. The plan was to go slow, and they would give him pain medicine, but no narcodics.
He was coherent, could see well enough to watch T.V. with me, and could move his arms and legs. They made him sit in the chair(he didn't want to, cause it would hurt), after giving him some pain medication. They didn't put him in the chair, but helped into it. He wanted to look out the window, and three nurses packed him all up, and pushed his chair and IV's and monitors, and oxygen down the hall into an empty room with a view of Forest Park to look at. It was great. We watched TV for a while and he laughed at several commercials, and new when I turned on a Rush CD, cause I asked him who it was and he told me.(one of his favorite bands) And when a commercial came on with an ACDC song, we both looked at each other, me to see if he would recognize it, and him to see if I would notice him recognizing it, and we both started laughing. We laughed, and cried alot, and he told me to tell Shannon he was proud of her for graduating Cum Laude, and was sad we didn't see it. Told me he missed his babies, who are 14 and 17 and aren't really babies at all, and me, and wants to go home of course, and knows he can't yet. I left at 10:45 pm so he could sleep, and I hope he sleeps better tonight, but he should after breathing for about 6 hours on his own, and staying awake for most of the day. It was a very emotional day. And a very best day.
