Levi had a good day yesterday; he was even a little bit silly when I first got there! They were unable to take the drain tube out from his neck though; they may try again this morning. At around noon, we got him out of bed and cleaned him up a bit. He was so, so scared to move and cried when we did this. But after a while he settled and took a long nap on me. It’s been hard to move him, even the slightest change pushes him over the edge. The main problem he’s having is that he is very jumpy in his sleep. He will be sound asleep and all of a sudden have that falling feeling and get so scared! Sometimes he is able to just go back to sleep if we apply pressure to him, but we have to be right there. He did this all day but Brian said that he did a little bit better during the night. They had given him more pain medicine to try and help with this but it didn’t, instead it made him super itchy all over  At like 9 last night they tried some anxiety medicine.
Well, even though I got to come home last night I didn’t get to sleep. Jesse-boo coughed nonstop all night long. Somebody at some point today will be taking him to the pediatrician this morning. Brenda and Leland are at the hospital to relieve Brian and to hold my stop so that I didn’t have to rush Jesse. Thank you for your continued prayers… please keep them coming!
