day 7 June 11, 2009

Well, the night was kinda quiet.  He was put on oxygen so those levels were constantly being monitored.  I feel like we got some sleep but not enough.  We had another xray first thing and he still has some fluid there. He was giving a med to help him urinate and another xray was taken.  I am waiting to hear that.
Cody is being a little feisty and cranky today so maybe he feels a little better.  He said to me after one time when I helped him pee and am not to familiar with that aspect of a penis so we made a little mess- Mom, please tell me if I am asking too much.  Well, I talked through my tears to assure him that there is no place in this world that I would rather be right now.  It is amazing that he seems this.  Or maybe he just sees how horrible I am starting to look. But what a great spirit he has.  
I am in the room and all of a sudden, his heart monitor starts beeping and I am watching his heart rate go up.  I freaked and called and then stepped out to get someone. It was something like 230.  The team of doctors flew in and it was racing but not as high as the machine indicated. Within in minutes, an EKG cart was here and we checked his heart, which was fine, thank goodness!  I must have looked even worse than I already do because they kept asking if I was ok.  I said I think it was my heart doing that.  A VERY scary 10 minutes.  Check back later to see what the afternoon brings.  Thanks for reading.
The afternoon was better.  Cody was up and talked for a few minutes here and there.  
I am a little nervous about the surgery tomorrow.  It is at 7:15 am and he is having platelets issues again so they are loading him up.  He will get type specific ones on Saturday. 
Hopefully I can get some rest tonight. I am going to snooze early.
