Day 7 - mid-day update & picture

Ethan & I slept well overnight once we finally got settled into our new room - we actually got to "sleep in" until 7:40am! That's late for us here at the hospital but it is about our usual waking time at home.

Nothing new will be happening here today except a visit to the top floor playroom! There's also a small play area here on this floor, so that was a welcome surprise on our morning walk.

Ethan's still on a little bit of oxygen (.5L overnight & down to. 3L since about 9am). In morning rounds, they decided that weaning oxygen was low priority & since Ethan's not complaining about it, I'm fine leaving it on him for now.

We're also scheduled for another chest X-ray but just waiting for an appointment time. Downstairs in the PICU, they brought the portable machine to us but I guess now that we've "graduated" to the floor, we have to travel to the X-ray floor to get it done.

That's all for now. Time for lunch,  rest time (we're watching a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD) then a walk up to the playroom at 2pm!

The picture is from him sitting up on his own, playing with the train table here on the floor! I think this was a good distraction b/c this was the first walk where he didn't fuss at all & he even made the loop around the whole floor unit, not just the end of the first hallway & back like we were doing downstairs.
