Just the Wii dad, Just the Wii. That about sums up Donovan's desires today, that and Pizza, pepperoni pizza dad. Lunch and dinner (sausage for breakfast, but he'd eat pizza if we let him). To be fair, the pizza place here at the hospital is very good.
Donovan spent the day off the IV, no morphine since 3am, and if all goes well tonight,,,, home tomorrow!! Bridget and I practiced all day moving him around the bed, in and out of the wheel chair and generally taking care of him. He has not complained about pain as we have moved him around. He took a long nap today in preparation of a fun night with Emma and Carl. Yup, more Wii, only with his favorite play mate on the Wii.
Mom and dad are fine. Dad went home last night. Mom stayed with D and watched him sleep from 8pm to 9am, with only a 4am medical check to interrupt a great night sleep. No pictures today. Donovan didn't agree to any today.
So we pray all goes well tonight so we can go home tomorrow. Our great friend Bill, is bringing his new truck with 4 doors and a big
bench seat in the back, to chauffeur Donovan. Donovan's
legs have to stay straight with knee braces holding them in place, so we
need a long bench seat to strap him in. We have a special harness to
put him in so as he sits, with legs across the seat, we can buckle him
into the seat belts. In fact, Donovan is very excited about using his harness and being able to "relax" while riding.
I know Donovan will want pictures of that!
