recovery 2

Well we found out Valium works as jake slept from 1130 to 4 and slept soundly enough to scare Sam into poking him to make sure all was good. That led to him being up till around 7 and I took over for Sam. Of course only after giving her mothers day cards. Jake slept in my arms most of the morning and he soon had his central line taken out and he was removed from all wires. Jake switched to all oral pain relievers. He started smiling this am and a stroll put him in good spirits. He visited with his new friend joyelle who saw dr upton as well. Its been nice to meet this other family and get a glimpse of what to expect in the future surgeries. Jake is back to his normal self and has played with us today and is being discharged tomorrow am. Dr upton came this afternoon and we discussed jakes progress. Good news being he has family in california and will see jake in la for progress checkups over the next few years. Today has been an interesting day for Sam spending mothers day in the hospital with one child and away from our other but I know seeing jake feel better is the best gift and trumps the massage I got her. All good news with prob just limited pain for jake more discomfort from the casts than anything. We head home tomorrow happy to put a close on this tough year of three surgeries for jake. We smile as we gear up for an end to this after a few weeks and we welcome their 1st bday on the 27th. Here's to an easy plane ride tom night.
Happy mothers day and special thanks to their godmother amy and gparents dan and carol who have watched luke for us.
And stacey thanks for leaving your family to lend support here to us in Boston.

love
