Today was a good day again! Ben took several good walks around the unit, ate frequently and well, was bathed, listened to some music, watched some T.V. and generally had an enjoyable day.
Blood pressure is still the issue, it's been too high, but they've modified the meds and will determine whether or not he can go home tomorrow after they see how the pressures are tonight. We really hope they've figured it out so that we can go home!
This evening was a lot of fun. A hospital magician came by the room (how many hospitals have their own magicians!) and did some fun tricks with Ben, including cards, multiplying foam balls, and a disappearing/reappearing handkerchief. He even taught Ben a trick, so ask Ben to perform a little magic for you next time you see him.
After the magician left, our neighbors from Elgin came for a visit, with Noah in tow after having spent the day in Chicago, and gma & gpa S made the trip in as well. Ben loves the attention!
So we're hoping for a somewhat restful night, even though nurse Tobin will be in every four hours to do the vitals. With a little luck and an assist from some medicine, this night may be our last in Children's, at least for now.
