Still doing good
Hey everyone - just to let you know - Hyde's still doing really well - he stayed with Bill last night and did well - only my tough little kid would rather deal with the pain of having two organs taken out than to take any medicine he's not used to :-(. He did take some of the 'good' tylenol yesterday midday - and took a long nap and then was able to get up and move around a little bit. According to Hyde he's 'creaky' and whenever we got to get him us he tells us to 'be caweful mommy!'. His labs were all stable for him yesterday - so that's good and he again did well on his normal full dialysis last night - so that's all great. Of course his blood pressure is back up last night and this mornig :-( but the dr's had told us to expect that. Hopefully this will slowly improve over the next few months.
The 2 big exciting news things for today - they've mentioned the word H-O-M-E to us!! (Can only spell it to not jinx the possibility). Possibly even today or tomorrow - we'll see. Again - so weird to me that we were here for 5 weeks in a row one time to get BPs stabilized but can have 2 organs you need to live removed and have the possibility of going home after a couple of days - WEIRD! The other WAY exciting news this morning - Ruth had to call and tell me she had a loose TOOTH!!! - I'm telling you - big happenings around the Talbot house! of course I had to totally pretend excitement while I was about to cry - how could my baby be old enough for a loose tooth? Didn't she just stop bottles and get out of diapers yesterday??!? Oh well...
We'll let you know once we know anything for sure and update any new exciting news on the Hyde hospital front or the progress of the loose tooth as it happens :-)
Thanks again to everyone that has followed us on this LONG LONG journey - we are so lucky to have been blessed wtih 2 of the most amazing kids ever plus the greatest group of family and friends anyone could ask for!
Thanks again -
Bill and Phyllis
