Oh what a few days...

I just realized in all of our craziness that I had not posted to the blog. Let's see...where do I begin about the past fews days..We are still in the hospital. Cam's surgery site is healing nicely and all of that is on course. However, he caught a stomach bug and has been miserable! Since he had the bug, he was put in solidary confinement! I'm not kidding. He had to stay in his room and all of the nurses and doctors had to put on gowns and gloves just to walk in his room. After the epideral came out on Monday, we were hoping to take wagon rides, but we couldn't. He was pretty dehydrated so they started the 4th (yes 4~!) IV last night and pumped him full of fluids. He had a MRI on Monday morning so he couldn't eat anything after midnight on Sunday. Once he came out of the anesthesia, he refused to drink anything for about 36 hours. He did eat pizza though. He had been receiving all of his medication through an IV, but in order to get out of here, he has to take them all by mouth. That has been fun...He has thrown up every medicine we put in him. I was the target for many of those! So we are waiting to see the surgeon and will hopefully be discharged this afternoon. We hope when we get out of the hospital, he will calm down and start drinking and eating better. Chad and I slept about 3 hours since Friday. Did I mention that our laptop broke again! We are borrowing one from the hospital. This week seems so much worse than the entire 6 and a half weeks we spent here earlier this year. Well, we are hopefully on the upswing and this will all be behind us.
I'll post when we get out of the hospital.
Julie, Chad and poor Cam Man
