Upset

Boy, I go from not posting for a while to posting within a couple of hours.

Now it is 2:45am. I have had maybe a total of 1 hour of sleep. Stone is in soooo much pain. They had let his meds wear off. I could have wringed someone's neck. But I was good and did not, I just wanted to get his meds down so he could sleep.

Once he started to feel better I went outside and smoked a few and call a friend to vent. Yes I know, a really good friend who will let you vent in the middle of the night. But she was actually working. At least she gave me an idea to help Stone. She suggested an ice pack for the outside of his throat. So I got the nurse to get us one. Thinking at this point anything to help him. Seems to be helping as he is sound asleep with it on. Maybe I should try to sleep again.

Right now is pretty funny in our shared room.. The neighbor's mom is asleep and he is watching TV, and than I am up and Stone is asleep. Actually this kid is really cool. His name is John and he is unfortunately an old hand at hospital stays. I have had some nice conversations with him. And right now Stone's IV ran out and was beeping, John knew right away what it was, telling me so I could call the nurse. His Mom is really nice too. Makes the stay so much easier.

Well, I am not holding out hope Stone will go home, I guess, now I can say today, as he is probably not drinking enough. And I am concerned that his oxygen saturation drops still when he is asleep. So they are pumping oxygen to him. They are saying it is because of the type of surgery, but he is asthmatic. We learned a long time ago about oxygen saturation in the blood. If he goes home, I don't have an oxygen tank for him or a way to read he stats.

Maybe I am just to tired right now, and starting to worry about everything.

OK, getting off line and going to try and sleep.
