Sleep???

Sleep? What's that? We actually got a little bit last night. We became very strong and left him in the care of the nurse and went to the Ronald McDonald House and got some sleep. We slept for 4 maybe 5 hours. Not sure if I personally feel better or not. Leaving him makes me feel like I've missed so much.

Having the Ronald McDonald House will be so nice when they release him from the hospital because after he is released we have to stay in the LA area for a week or so, and this way we can take him with us and have a nice room to stay in and the access to a kitchen to be able to prepare meals and not have to eat out. They are giving us a very reasonable rate, thanks to a wonderful social worker here at the hospital that has worked it all out for us. The only difficult part right now is one of us has to at least go to our room once within a 24 hour period of time or they will cancel our reservation. Ugh, what if we want to just stay here with him/ It wouldn't be that bad but with this LA traffic it takes 30 minutes to get there. (I can't believe the time people spend in their cars here with with commuting time.)

He had a good restful night from what we hear. They are still testing him to prepare him to get the breathing tube out. His blood gases are still looking good and his chest tubes are not draining much, which is good. They hope to pull 3 or 4 of them today.

Anyway, it feels so good to be back here with him. I know we need the sleep but its sure hard to leave him.
