Back At The Hospital



Yesterday was a horrible day. All morning Devan's pain kept getting worse and worse. Then he started vomiting again. At about 11:00 we had to rush him back to the emergency room. After some x-rays they were able to tell that nothing was internally wrong with his surgery sight. The first thought was that maybe one of his internal stitches ripped because of the prednizone that he is on. After the happiness wore off of knowing no stitches ripped we received the bad news...he had to have the tube put back up his nose and in to his throat. Lets just say that yesterday morning was filled with a lot of frustration and crying...from quite a few of us...and not just me. We were lucky in that his surgeon came down and oversaw everything that was going on in the er. He was the one who put the tube back up his nose...MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME!!!
Then he admitted back in to the hospital. All of our favorite nurses welcomed us back and we fell in to a feeling that we just couldn't get ahead of the game. Once he got all settled in we all just sat around and waited for him to start getting better. Sam and Danna Lee stayed with us almost all day along with Garald and Nyla. I went home last night to try and get some much needed rest. One Ambian and 11 hours later I woke up and got ready for work. After work...I came back to the hospital to spend the afternoon and evening with my cute hubby again.
He is doing much better today. The surgeon says that the pain and vomiting might have just been caused by an air bubble and that is was a total fluke thing to have happen. Hopefully we will going home tomorrow (again). Till then...here are some shout outs...

Danna Lee - Thank you for giving me the sleeping pill. Without it I would have been up all night worrying about Devan. Also, thank you for staying with us all day yesterday and taking me to go get food.

Sam - Thank you for staying with us most of the day. Also, thank you for staying late with Devan last night and then coming again today while I had to work.

Garald & Nyla - Thank you for everything!!! It is too much to write down, but know that we appreciate it all.

Price - Thank you for coming last night to visit and just generally being one of the best friends we have ever had.

My Mom & Dad - Thanks for letting call and cry to you (about 4 times yesterday.)

We are so blessed to have the family and friends that we have.
