Mason slept great last night! He fell asleep hard at 8:30 and didn't wake up until they came in for a blood draw at 3:45. I managed to get him back to sleep at 4:30 and he slept until 5:30.
He's being his usual, spunky self. I wish we could take him home. The IV antibiotics are still every 6 hours - 10, 4, 10 and 4. Mason has been peeing up a storm and keeps wetting the bed. We tried larger diapers and he still pees through those also. He's due for a really good bath and a bed changing, even though he just had all that yesterday!
Mason had his IV moved yesterday, after it got pulled mostly out. His right hand was pretty swollen after they removed it. They moved it into his left hand. Last night, he was thrashing around for an hour or so and managed to have the IV disconnect, which leaked blood all over the bed, me, and him. It took awhile to get it rehooked and all cleaned up and by this time I was pretty crabby. The response time during the day has been less than ideal...and I know they have other patients (especially patients without family here) so I'm not sure if they are short-staffed or what. I know that my patience level deteriorates quickly as well when they don't move as fast as I would. :)
Daddy is coming over later this morning (just in time for the Brewer game - fancy that) - and its going to be a mommy & JJ afternoon, hopefully including a nap!
Tomorrow we will know for sure what the antibiotic plan is and whether we get to take him home or not. We're hoping he can go home on oral antibiotics so our 4th of July plans aren't affected. I think 4 days at the lake is just what he needs. :)
