Saturday AM, POD#2

8:00am we arrived at the hospital. Starr went in and Matt was asleep. She let him sleep..
9:30am: He is awake but more sleepy than yesterday. He had some vomiting during the night, but not so much that there would have been intracranial pressure (WHEW). He is cranky, and not as chatty. This doesn't bode well for his scheduled friend/family visitors for the day (Royce Tom, Dave and Cortney, Jeff and Deann are all supposed to be here today). The nurses said he had a good night, but he says he didn't sleep well. We think it's because he is just more aware of things now. He has continued to pass all the requisite questions (person, place, time). Took his morning meds, and trying to eat breakfast  (scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage links, apple juice and maybe toast). The ART line came out; this is one more step toward the goal of showering :)
10:25 am: Starr left for a brief walk, and Matt was still sleeping. I was perusing Pinterest in his room when the nutritionist came in. She asked if he had any food allergies, and if he had any food likes/dislikes. I thought for a second and said "well, we were raised on mac & cheese and bologna; if you feed him like a 10-year-old, we should be fine".  She laughed and said "we can do that!" I said "just no weird things like arugula and stuff, and he will be happy". She said lunch was chef salad with turkey and ham and cheese, and baked potato soup. I told Starr later and she said "oh good. He likes those".  Haha  then it got me thinking...I would be a nightmare for anyone as a patient. What's left after knocking out dairy, spice, salt, citric, and sugar? lol
I talked to Royce; she and Tom were just finishing breakfast (this was earlier) and were going to head over. She had left her phone in the truck, and the iPad wasn't connecting where they were, Tom doesn't have texting on his phone (doesn't like technology attachment like the rest of us do!), and she was feeling a little isolated.  haha... Dave has been a little under the weather so him and Royce may or may not go shooting today as planned. Dave texted me a little bit ago; he is heading up so I gave him directions.
Mom has been reading books on her iPad (thanks Ry!!), and we have ventured her out onto Pinterest and our blogs...she might just get as electronically attached as me and Starr and Royce. What have we created? :) I remember when she hadn't used texting yet, and she would wonder aloud why we don't just pick up the phone and CALL the person, rather than text back-and-forth?? And now look at her...dad likes to give her crap by calling her out on her texting stats for the month  hee hee
