John had a big day yesterday. We had a fabulous appointment. We were at the hospital from 9 -2, but got a lot done. He no longer has to check his blood sugar levels, he does not have to do an inhaled pentamadine once a month (that has switched to a pill form), he has appointments every other week now, and just labs on the off weeks (which he can do at the hospital down the street from us), he does not need weekly chest x rays any more AND he got his central line out!!!
This is John and Ashley. She is one of our most favorite nurses. We didn't really meet her until John's last hospital stay when he was so sick. We had seen her around but John had never had her. We LOVED her instantly. Well, I did. John does not really remember. She did so much for us and was really there for me when things were so scary. She came in to say HI to us when we were at John's appt yesterday. We miss her.
And - there goes the line. John was so excited to get that thing out. He has had it in for over 9 months. Now he has to get poked once a week, but he does not even care. He is so happy. This also opens up our 45 min window from LDS too since he is no longer high risk for infection from his line. But, we still have to talk to the Docs before we go any where.
OHHH - isn't this the best picture. 5 years ago yesterday we were placed with Isaiah. He was 2 1/2 and the cutest kid ever. He was scared and confused, but adjusted pretty good. John and Isaiah even look a little alike in this picture :)
