I woke up and went to take a shower this morning. I lost all my soaps. How does that happen? Luckily I asked if anyone found it and after some looking around, they saw it sitting off to the side. It was 3 full size bottles. Just brain farted and left them behind I guess.
Then I went to grab my towels. Nope. Only one towel. The towels are almost big enough to wrap around your waist. So then I became creative and used a t-shirt to dry my hair. I will get more towels later today.
Ethan gave everyone a little bit of a break last night. I am feeling tired but am eating, drinking and taking vitamins. My rest is interrupted. I usually don’t sleep more than an hour at a time. I know this will change as he heals. I am even sleeping with ear plugs in. The lights are on all night so the team can measure liquids, see tubes etc, so I just put a pillow over my face....with my mask on. As you can imagine, I wake up beauty pageant ready every time.
Imaging took him back for a CT scan with contrast. He got another X-ray and I am waiting on the results of both. Ethan still is having trouble with his left eye and left hand fine motor skills.
They tried to shift him a little to avoid bed sores this morning. They shimmied a pillow under his rear end and side. His blood pressure is now high instead of low, so they are trying to get him just right. Ugh kid....come on. Stick to the middle of the path.
His kidney’s are working which is good. Some of the medications he is getting is harsh on his kidneys. His nurse is thankful he was more cooperative last night. However, this woman is amazing. She doesn’t have time to blink.
I am hopeful that he will continue to stabilize today. They will lighten his sedation at some point and he will likely again try to text Jesney. He sooooo wants to get up and go. ❤️
Bless his heart!
