He likes the attention

I got yelled at for not posting, so I apologize. Yesterday was a pretty good day. They were giving Luie another med that is like Motrin, through his IV. It doesn't control fever but it did seem to help with his pain levels yesterday. He had a small fever in the morning, but not the rest of the day. He slept for the most part although his grandma and cousin stayed with him, and that was great. For both of us. Thank you Margie and Monica. Dad came he kept him awake and they played games together. He even smiled several times. You can see it in the picture. He had the labtop most of the night so I didn't update because of him. I got to go home shower, eat, and slept the best hour ever, and I got to see the other kids and had dinner with my husband. Sure it was pizza slices from Falco's but we loved the time together. They all miss Luie so much. For as much as they fight, he is in most ways their little leader and they miss him. He received some balloons yesterday and the cutest bear, thanks to the Ciccone's, he was very happy. It was very heart warming to me. No tears, no tears....He's loving the messges, so don't stop. He likes the kids messages and teachers specially. Not that he doesn't like my friends, he says those are for me. Which I love.
Tonight things went better then the night before. He woke up a couple of times, but went right back to sleep. I had a small fight with him because he wanted to stay up at 3:45 in the morning and watch TV, but he doesn't remember it. He's sleeping now, and I'm having the nurses come in to check on him. He looked a little pale and then we saw blood in the tube that keeps his stomach empty. Oh yeah, he won't be eating for another few days. They said it was pretty common, but they would check with his surgeon. They are going to wash him up now so I will update as soon as I know more.
Oh, thanks to our neighbors that made and signed his get well card. We appreciate it.

  1. DUDE! All those tubes look annoying as heck! Oh well, it's not every day you get hooked up to a billion tubes and get moved around like a puppet...haha you like that metaphor? I do too...I thought of it myself. What is that you're holding in the picture? It looks like a...giant WII remote...or something. Ha. I'm totally glad that you got to play video games and watch a bunch of movies. HEY! You should read some books too! That would pass the time a little bit. But you probably already thought of that, at least I HOPE you did. And thanks for posting a picture of yourself, even though I think Z is the one that did that. But oh well, it's a picture of you and your smiling...just like I asked for. I'm so happy to see you smiling. Did you know it's contagious? It's a proven fact. I would know. Well, I'm praying for you like I said and I'll have my high school church group pray for you tonight as well, so don't you worry, God's got it covered. Well I hope you get out of the hospital BEFORE Christmas! I would totally make that your goal...doooo it. DOOOOOO ITTT!!! I know I'll see you soon. Adios amigo.
