2010: Day 21

Day 21

Bridger was sad and cranky all day. I don’t think he felt very well. The nurse said that if he runs a fever we won’t be discharged. I guess you have to be fever free for 48 hours before you can be discharged. He watched TV most of the day. It didn’t help that he had to be hooked up to the IV pole again today. It was the last day of a study we signed up to do and they had to draw labs a lot. Bridger was extra cold today. Luckily my sister in law C. sent a very warm flees blanket. The only thing that Bridge did besides TV, a long nap, and keeping warm was play connect four. It was a gift and he said I’ve always wanted one of these games. I hope he feels much better today. I wonder how it will go he has been up since 4:30.

Oh man! Stinky fever! We're crossing our fingers and saying extra prayers...Question: Will Bridger have to wear the big filter mask all the time or just when he's out of the house (after you get discharged?)
Here's hoping! We love you guys!

Janalee,
HI! I am your new visiting teacher!! I have something to send to you and Bridger and I can't seem to get a hold of your husband. Is he coming down to Houston tomorrow? If so, how can I get ahold of him or is there an address that I can mail it to? I feel like I already know you because I have been reading your blog. Your family is amazing!! We pray for Bridger and your family and hope you will be back soon. Talk to you soon,

From the mouth of Bridger

While taking down an air mattress Bridger was playing like it was his sinking ship and that I was his rescuer. Once we were safely onto our individual rescue rafts (aka pillows) I said, while making a paddling motion “Hurry and paddle, paddle fast”. Bridger slowly turned his head toward mine and said in a dua mom tone of voice “I have a motor” then decided to add “and if that doesn’t work I have a two headed paddle so I can still go fast”.
-------------------------------------
I was in the kitchen and Bridger was sitting over the arm of the couch when he dropped something he was playing with. He began to ask me to come pick it up for him. “Pleas mom will you come pick this up for me”. I was half ignoring him thinking he can get down and get it. He was persistent “Mom pleas will you help me mom pleas…Jesus is going to put you on his naughty list if you don’t help me” I just thought at least he knows whose list is important.
--------------------------------
Trying to convince me to let him play video games he said “mom I really insist”
--------------------------------
Bridger’s Grandma got her hair cut short a little shorter than she wanted. Bridger kept looking at it and so Grandma asked “Did you see grandma cut her hair” Bridger “Does Grandpa like?” Grandma “yes” Bridger “Do you like it?” Grandma “Not really” Bridger “I think you look adorable!”
------------------------------
After Going to the bathroom Bridger was holding the toilet paper and said “When I just see this toilet paper I think of God…a pause… It reminds me of Heavenly Father and Jesus”. I said “Well it is the White Cloud brand. Trying not to lol I asked what about the toilet paper makes you think of them? Bridger “I just do”. Mom “Is it the color, or maybe the pattern”? Bridger “The color”.
-------------------------------
While sitting down to a small dinner including chips homemade avocado dip that Bridger helped make, a casserole and some fresh veggies. Bridger shouts out as soon as the prayer ended “WHAT A FEAST!”
---------------------------------
While watching the first part of Wizard of Oz, specifically the part when Dorothy first walks out of her house into Oz, Bridger turned and asked “Is heaven beautiful”? I said “yes it is” He said “More beautiful than this?” referring to oz with its 1939 plastic flowers and back drops. I said “yes much more” still in aw, he said “this is beautiful enough”.
------------------------------
Swatting at fruit flies with no success he stopped and proclaimed “They think I’m I a fruit!”
---------------------------
Bridger bent his big toe nail back trying to move a basket. He was in a lot of pain. I said “come here and let me see” he said “It’s as red as a burnt pancake”.
---------------------------
Waiting for the Dr. Bridger let me play his DS Game. I actually completed a short level. Bridger in an optimistic voice said “Good job Mom…I’m impressed”!
------------------------------
I asked Bridger if he thought it would be fun if his Dad brought his bike down this weekend so they could ride bikes together. Bridger hesitated and said “What if he can’t keep up with me”
----------------------------
One night I told Bridger a bed time story about how Blake and I met. I mentioned that we flirted long before we started dating even though dad would never admit to it. Then later in the story I mentioned we flirted while we dated. I went on to tell him about us getting married and a year and 3 months later we had a wonderful baby boy. At the end of the story he said “You and Dad sure flirted a lot”.
-----------------------------
Bridger wanted to play with his Nerf gun so I suggested some targets for him to shoot at. His reply was. “You could just be my target”
---------------------------
As a nurse was leaving his room he turned and said, “Ta Ta”. Then he said, “Mom that’s Spanish for good bye.”
