I of course say that because our rest has been few and far between. Our night went something like this.
•11:00 p.m.- Zach took a percocet, I emptied his drain and we collapsed into bed.
•1:00 a.m- Bathroom run
•3:00 a.m.- Bathroom run #2
•5:00 a.m.- More meds for Zach
•7:00 a.m.- We were basically up for good.
It took forever for us to join the land of the living. I don't think I took a shower until almost noon!
Zach's mom and sister came with our niece. She was definitely a nice distraction from everything because she is so sweet and funny, but our talking really hurt Zach's ears for some reason. ( and stop your laughing, we weren't even that loud, his poor head just couldn't handle the four of us. I got to run out to Target quickly while they were there to get movies Zach wanted. He was so happy when he saw I found them. I bought the A Team and (much to my future regret) Blazing Saddles. Trust me though, if you saw how puny he is, you would have too.
Overall he has been very sore today and he felt really awful when I changed his dressings. I am so glad I was able to care for him today and we are just praising God for his healing. We are thankful that Zach hasn't vomited or felt nauseous and pray that he would continue to not have those symptoms.
One big request we have for tonight is that Zach has just developed a fever. : (. This is what we were hoping to avoid, but he has it, so we're handling as best we can. Also pray for a more peaceful night, even though it seems that it won't be. God is good though and I am glad we are in the comfort of home and not in the hospital!
Goodnight everybody!
