OHS #3 day #5

The Dr. M team just stopped in. Wow, there were a lot of them today! The only issue that remains is Elijah's high blood pressure. He is going to have to start another bp medication because Dr. M isn't comfortable with where it's at. His words: "And hopefully he doesn't have to be on it long-term." The possibility of this is a bummer, as E has never had to be on medication long-term. Praying hard for things to work themselves out.

We had a good night, considering. I've found that having an early riser in the hospital is a tiring combination. Elijah was up bright and early (4 AM!) talking and ready to play. Many people have commented on how funny and talkative he is so early in the morning. Yep, that's our boy!

It's 9:20 and Elijah has had 2 neck dressing changes, 1 echo, 1 unnecessary blood draw, 4 glasses of juice, 1 glass of water, 1 bagel, 2 crackers and we are on our 5th movie. Is it time for bed yet??

Hang in there, momma! Gotta love those early bird babies :) Praying that new meds do the trick with the bp and that you'll be home soon!
