The morning started off by my waking up at 4:03 to use the bathroom and literally, twenty seconds after I sat up, the nurse walked in. She did his vitals and then I spent a good few minutes trying to get his pain meds into him. I couldn't fall back to sleep ..... So ... 4am .... I was awake.
And I heard these sad little noises coming from the side of Nathan's bed, and this is what I found....... Poor Monkey......
Okay - Monkey wasn't REALLY making sounds..
Nathan just slept and slept and slept and slept and slept..... infact he didn't get up until almost 9am.
Gloomy Seattle morning
An actual good photo of his angry birds balloon ....
He's AWAKE...... and .and ... and..... DRINKING ON HIS OWN .......
After breakfast we wondered around some more - and I had seen a sign for some playroom activities .... so I had gone back to the sign and read it was a playroom on the 2nd floor and walked in there - it was like .. HALLELUIAH!!.... actually him drinking on his own was that moment.... but ... it was almost there... I didn't know this was there....
And there is an outside area too!!! Course all the outside areas are closed right now thanks to the construction ....
Nathan played for a little while......
the other half of the playroom, and behind the nurse in the blue shirt (down the middle of the picture) there is a doorway that leads into the teen center....
There is also a "therapy pool" that the kids (and parents) can use - as long as the kids have the permission of the Doctors ....
Nathan grabbed these from the little free box. The purple cat and duck were for him and the blue cat was for Kaedyn - but Nathan gave his to Marnie... LOL...
Nathan hanging out - technically released but waiting for Nana ....
GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We hung up all of Nathan's cards on the wall!!!
Now, Nathan got strict instructions ... not to put his hands or fingers in there... not straws .... blah blah..... didn't say a WORD about TOES!!
He's doing well at home :)
There is definitely a change in his voice, he has more volume, more force... just more quality ...

Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. To answer your question, yes she had Autism. The program my son is in is one in which nearly every child is in some sort of IEP, including him. I just loved watching her rock to the rhythm of the song since she wasn't able to sing to it.
I'm glad your son came through his surgery okay! I love how bright and cheery children's wards often are, I wish they'd make every recovery ward that way. Think of how much better that would be!
