And sleep

We made it through the day. There were a couple walks around the floor. No more complaints about his left hip hurting since 3am, but he has started to say his right one hurts - as to be expected.

He's done with his Pulmicort and colace for the night so now it's time for another good night's sleep (fingers crossed).

Tomorrow will probably be a hard day. He's on schedule to have blood drawn in the morning and his epidural removed. About 6 hours after the epidural is removed the catheter will come out. As an adult I know these are steps to going home; as a four year old he's petrified by the pain removing adhesives will cause. So far everyone here had been wonderful - the biggest benefit of being in a hospital that doesn't do bu people. Let's hope they're also good at being gentle and yet quick with removal of the sticky stuff :-)
