While we were hanging out at the hospital today, they brought in a herd of elephants so all the patients could ride them. Just kidding. But we feel like if we don't start posting more interesting things, we are letting down our faithful readers!
We really have almost nothing to report today. Mary was still sick and stayed in the apartment again all day. But she did manage to fall asleep this afternoon for a couple of hours, so that was good. Paul was feeling a little bit better today but was busy most of the day with work. He did get down to the hospital to see Josh twice, the first time during lunch and the second time during dinner. After dinner, Paul and Josh played air hockey for about an hour and then enjoyed a couple of episodes of The Office back in Josh's room.
Other than that, we know that Josh had a full slate of classes today and that they all went well. Josh was in good spirits all day, ate a lot of his meals, and otherwise did well. We did find out that he has gained nearly five pounds -- up to a whopping 133 lbs now. He still has his feeding tube in his stomach but it is not being used. The nurse said she would look into having it removed in the coming days. That would be great, as it does bother Josh a little.
That's all we've got. We don't even have any pictures! Sorry!!

Take care and hope you're both feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThis sickness is hanging on sooooo long. Perhaps it's not all bad for Joshua though. Maybe it's time for him to be less dependent on you,. I can't help but think the reason you both have lost so much strength and succumbed to illness is the torture your body has withstood the past two months. Joshua seems to be doing fine with less attention. Please let that comfort you...relax and get well. I believe this weekend was supposed to be a get-away break for you.....no? Perhaps you can really enjoy yourselves without unnecessary worry, for the first time in forever. Love you.
