Sleeping soundly again

Posted on May 20, 2014 by jeffcuz

After another night of vomiting and more calls to the hospital after being discharged Monday, J.P. is finally looking better.

The big goal after getting home Monday was to get J.P. in the bathtub. He still had post-surgery hair and was unable to have it washed for a week.

It was just after the bath when J.P. began vomiting, and it continued until just before midnight.

We made a call to J.P.’s doctors and were about ready to return to the ER when things calmed down, and he managed to sleep through the night.

Paige told me Tuesday morning that she wasn’t sure she could have gone back to the hospital after finally unpacking, and I wasn’t far off. I had about reached my vomit limit.

We’re both really glad he was able to get a good night’s sleep, and I think it was exactly what he desperately needed.

Tuesday was pretty uneventful from a J.P. standpoint. However, his gastroenterologist did call in some anti-nausea medicine just in case it was needed.

We tried to get things situated before I head back to work Wednesday, and I was able to get some chores taken care of. We even got to the grocery and cooked dinner. That was kind of therapeutic.

I’m now sitting on the couch. J.P. is snoozing in Paige’s lap, and Karina is asleep on one side of me, and Belle is asleep on the other.

I think I’ll join them. Goodnight all.
