Day 12

All of Bridgers blood levels stayed the same today. He ran a slight fever at 100.1 they aren’t too concerned about it though. He seemed to have another good day. We played most of the day yet I was kind of down. Maybe it is due to the lack of sleep from the constant beeping of the med pumps last night? (Some nurses are more prompt to shut them off before the alarms sound than others last night was one of “the others”) After feeling sad and home sick I got a pit in my stomach while having a terrible mom moment, thinking I’m not even the one sick, I shouldn’t be so selfish. This is much harder for him than it is me I shouldn’t be having a poor me day. Maybe after living in a hospital room for 24 days anyone could be entitled to at least one home sick, self pity day? Bridger still kept me smiling though; he is such a happy and funny boy. I don’t remember if I mentioned that every Tuesday the cutest elderly volunteer couple brings the FUN cart by. The Fun cart has lots of different toys to choose from. Today Bridger chose another paddle ball, two small jet planes, and the coolest blue with green triangle sun glasses you ever did see. He looks so cool in them. It was kind of dark and cloudy out side so I suggested we could turn on the bright exam lights that are directly over his bed to test out the glasses. He promptly turned them on, climbed up on his bed and lay out as if he was at the beach with his brand new glasses. It was so darn cute. I just can’t get enough of him. We got a patient greeting today from a friend, it was so fun. If you are feeling the need to send Bridger something this is a great thing. You go to www.texaschildrens.org , on the right side of the screen under Quick Links you click on Send a Patient Greeting. You choose a graphic and type a message and they print it out and deliver it to our room.
Looking so cool!


We have played for hours the last two days with his new erector construction set. He Loves it! (Thank you K & G, T.)
