Day +18

I ate my spinach, so I deserve a (begged for relentlessly) treat!!!




I can't believe it's already Day +18! Joshua is still doing extremely well. This whole thing did not slow him down at all. The staff here are always commenting about how active he is, apparently he is the most active (and most bruised) kid on the ward. His poor nurses have to unhook his tubes several time per day to unwind and untangle them to stop the IV pumps from beeping. He always twists them clockwise, every time. I'm not sure how he does it, but it's a mess!
