Just A Little Update

I'm still here in the hospital!! I should be going home tomorrow. Some crazy things have been going on here. I've made two room changes in the last two days. One change was due to a guy they placed in my room. He kicked a nurse in the face! I asked to be moved. Then they found I have a bacteria called 'C-Dif' and they put me in a private room. I got it from the antibiotics killing a good natural bacteria that fights this c-dif.

Its hard to type on my phone so I will write a longer update when I have a laptop in front of me or when I am finally home. I'm doing great though. Today is my first day of solid foods. Very exciting although I have to take it real slow. Thanks again for all of everyone's support. It has helped make this bareable. Until next time.

The Count Down is On

Work, hospital, go home and feed baby during the wee hours of the night. Repeat as needed. Phewie the cycle is almost over. We are very hopeful that Mark will come home tomorrow. He is feeling better. They are getting his pain back under control (they tried cutting out all pain meds until he had to remind them nicely "what about the pain I have from the liver tumors"...oh yea keep the drugs coming please). Mark can have solid foods today. Poor guy has not had a morsel of food since last Sunday. Yes that is like 8 days ago. Lets place bets on how much weight Mark lost. I say like 8 pounds.

You know you have a small....

You know you have a small TV when your foot is bigger than the TV screen.

Nose tube out!!!

Nose tube is out!!! Mark is so happy. And now he is enjoying a delish cup of ice chips. Tomorrow he gets broth and jello. And his pain is under control too. Next is getting him home. I can't wait to have him home with me and the lil' dude.
We are getting ready to gather around the 9 inch TV screen in Mark's room to watch the big game.

Yeah!!!

I've never been so excited about this before but I just (in order to not offend anyone, please pick your own term) ...

Antsy Pantsy

We are both getting a bit antsy. We are ready to feel great and go outside and play. Patience is a virtue and we keep trying to remember to take deep breaths, get good rest and soon enough we will be home. Home sweet home.
Mark is looking great. And he is using the morphine much less. He has gone on four 30 minute walks today. Once he stinkers he can get that darn tube out of his nose. Do you know how many times I have gotten annoyed when he rips a stinky fart at home and now I actually found myself praying earlier today for Mark to fart. Even I see the humor in that. So on that note everytime you fart tonight think of Mark (heehee).

Thank God Its Friday

So we made it thru to Friday. Day 4 and counting. I am at work so I haven't seen him yet. Mark reports that the pain is pretty controlled but he can't move around super well and sitting up or getting out of the bed is painful. The goal today is to walk the hallways 3 times... Mark said, "no problem" and he just wants to do whatever the doctors want so he can heal quickly. He was disappointed to find out that they will not be removing that tube from his nose until tomorrow and he won't be able to go home until more like Tues or Wed.

The baby is doing good. He is still getting up 2 to 3 times during the night though. Thank god for my mom and sister taking turns sleeping over our house and helping me. There is no way I could have gotten thru the week without some assistance. My other sister has been doing the "swing shift" between when the nanny leaves and I get home from the hospital. And Lisa offered to watch the baby on Sunday during the day- which is super helpful, so Jeremy and I can watch the SuperBowl with Mark at the hospital... GO GIANTS :)
