Last night was pretty mellow. Luie woke up a few times but went right back to sleep. He woke up at 6am and started watching TV. I was not waking up. I finally woke up at 9:30 and he fell asleep. It works out, I tend to stay up late to watch over his pain and he gets up early to control his pain. Another tube was removed today, so he was able to get up to use the bathroom. It made walking so much easier too. THE MAYOR was in the hospital today. The nurses invited Luie to come meet the Mayor but he had just fallen asleep so he said he was not waking up. They did add another IV for a feeding tube, but he's not eating foods yet so they have to feed him. Plus it's not as uncomfortable as the one he had. He went for 2 walks today. First we went to the teen lounge just to play games and get a board game. He wanted to be ready for when his dad and Tio Scottie come to visit. He was up and ready to go when they came. He wanted to go for a walk with his Papi and Tio Scottie.
Then they came back and played Chinese Checkers and Apples to Apples. By the time I came back and it was time for them to leave at 7:30, Luie was exhausted.
I must say, our team of nurses has been fantastic. I have to go find that fish bowl where we are supposed to leave comments. We have our favorites but we won't name names. We do want to say thank you to Lynette, Tobin, Danielle, Lindsey, Juliette, and in the picture, Ally and Rosa. If I forgot someone, I'm so sorry. But thank you all for taking care of my little Lu. Tonight his uncle Louie is coming to spend the night with him and then he gets to spend the day with Big Justin and the evening with his dad Lu and bonus, his dad is spending the night. I will be back Saturday. I'm having anxiety thinking I won't be here for that long but I know between his family and nurses he'll be in good hands.

Wow. That's awesome that you got up and took two big walks today. That's more than I can do. Sitting is my friend. But I guess you get all bored and cramped, so walking is a good thing. I am happy to hear that you got to spend some quality time with your family members, that's the best medicine....well except God, of course. Hey, I have a question. I was wondering, since you're not allowed to eat, but you have nutients given to through you through an IV, do you still get hungry? Because I can't imagine being hungry for like...days and being not alowed to eat!! I WOULD JUST DIE! DIE I TELL YOU! Well I gotta go...no joke, I'm not just leaving because I don't like you. (I didn't say that out loud). Ha just kidding. Tengo Prisa!!!
