Last night Brayden kept saying ow, ow, ow when he would touch his arm with the iv in it. The nurse looked at it and she said if he has to stay another day, they would have to take out that iv since his vein is starting to collapse. So last night I prayed we could come home today and that would be one last stress for Brayden.
Last night, Kristy came by to visit Brayden and to keep us company for awhile. She even brought Brayden a monster truck which he loves and 2 books and animal crackers! Nice to get something new to distract him from being bored in the hospital bed. Brayden also got another donated from Janeen Savage, so sweet of her to always think about Brayden and donate money. Which will definitely help us out with all the added medical bills. One thing that stinks, we spend $50 on medicine the day before Brayden went in to the hospital and now that has to go to waste. We do have around 100 cookbooks left, if you still need 1, please let me know. They make great gifts for family and friends or if anyone has an idea where I can sell them, please let me know. I have ran out of ideas and would love to sell the rest.
Brayden tossed and turned all night, his arm with the iv was really bothering him. This morning when the doctors came in, they said Brayden was looking much better and they would call Dr. Bauer to see if we could get the go ahead to finally go home!
Brayden got the clear from Dr. Bauer and he got to go home this afternoon! Wow, who would have thought last week on Tuesday when he had a high temperature, we would be in the hospital for 6 days. I am just happy we are going home and not an emergency surgery in Chicago right now. They are going to keep him on bactrim which is an oral antibiotic for the rest of the time these expanders are in. It does has some side effects so we have to watch for those.
Dr. Bauer said we can start to do our fills again, but we will have to take it easy and towards the end we will try to make up for the missed fill.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support, we couldn't have gotten through all of this without all of you!
Thank you for following Brayden's Journey. He is truly such an amazing little boy, always so happy and full of smiles. Brayden was born on 11/01/2010 with Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus. 1 out of 500,000 babies are born with this, so a lot of you may have never heard of this before. Continue to follow Brayden's Journey and you will learn all about nevus. We really appreciate all of your support.
