A very excited Whitaker eating a good lunch. Who knew how much hosptial food had improved? It actually is awesome here! He wasn't quite ready for breakfast today, but by lunchtime, he was holding nothing back.
He read magazines today and fussed at me for not giving them to him sooner. I'm pretty sure I offered, or I would have, if he had been interested. When I offered, he was in ICU, and he looked like this:
We obviously like it much better when he looks like this:
Whitaker's full Friday included two meals with brownies for dessert, a bath, a development and disappearance of a rash, a visit from two neurosurgery nurse practiotioners, two physical therapists, one nutritional consultant, all four grandparents (who have been here everyday), two uncles, one aunt, three out of five cousins, the one and only special brother (complete with double-back-tap-bro-hug), a family of friends, the neurosurgeon, and one extremely nice Chaplain named Steve.
Highlights include a care package with balloons from the Lady Marksmen basketball team (super sweet!), the game ball from Wednesday night's baseball game signed by his entire team (sniff, sniff) and Granddaddy downloading a texting app to his iPod touch (watch out, world!)
(sigh)
I'm pooped.
We might get to go home tomorrow.
Thank you, God for all our blessings, our health, our insurance, and our Whitaker.
That is awesome! Whitaker you look great! Can't wait to see you. Let me know when you are ready to put up with Rachel. She will come out and keep you company! That is if you can put up with her. Keep on improving!
