Day 15 New Years Day

Ian got his neck IV line out today. The biggest trauma was the tape removal--suprise suprise. It had to be done by a doctor as there were two stitches to remove with it. He did well with it all things considered. Dr. Vos did the removal and in some ways it was good it was not Dr. Romero so he still holds Dr. Romero as his favorite.

Doctors are thinking that Ian can be discharged tomorrow, Friday. We are very excited but know that any little thing can change that--fevers, meds, vomiting, etc. Ian got a bag of meds to prep us for our discharge. Our transplant coordinator told us we would have a training session on them tomorrow before discharge.

Ian got to play in the playroom here on the floor today. It is nice as it is only for the transplant kids so I feel safe in the level of germs, etc. He loved the magnetic sand table. I make him wear slippers to the room which he still fights me on a bit--I don't want him walking around a hospital without anything on his feet.

Ian is still eating well and is sleeping fairly well. He is doing better with some of the potty issues we were having as well. We all watched some football bowl games in his room and he seemed to like that.

So far, it is a great new year!

So proud to hear that our little trooper is still holding in there. He continues to be an inspiration to us of purity and strength. You are wonderful parents. Keep it up!
