We found a playroom while we waited to be discharged.
By Friday morning, Thaddeus was feeling fantastic. He slept until about 7 am, which is good since the nurse told me he was awake until about 2 am. (Dede and I gave up at 11:00). After making a couple of pancakes disappear in record time, we had to wait until rounds before we could be discharged. One of the nurses gave Thaddeus some single use saline containers and showed him how, and helped him, to squirt hospital employees. He would then run away laughing hysterically. It was universally agreed that he didn't need to be in an ICU ward. After waiting for the doctors to "round", we were quickly discharged. Thaddeus had a nice nap in the car on the way home. After we got home and hugs were exchanged, he proceeded to play just as if nothing had happened. When asked what the best part was, he replied: "I got a new Superman blanket." He went on to explain that the second best part was eating two and a half popsicles. On Sunday, I got a special Father's day treat. All eight of us were able to go to the same church at the same service for the first time in I don't know how long.
It's good to be home. Thanks for all of the prayers. I'll let you know when the next thing comes up.
