Ok, obviously from the tone of the title of this blog you are probably thinking that today probably hasn’t been the best day ever....and well, you would be right. 😞 Over the past 48 hours Everett has become more and more agitated and seems to be in considerably more discomfort than he has been the … Continue reading Mama Bear doesn’t play nice!

Lesson Learned…Post-Op Day 8 (a little bit late 😬)

Good morning! I’m so sorry for getting yesterday’s update out so late. Since coming to the peds floor from the PICU, I feel like the day just got away from me faster. Bubba actually had a pretty good nights rest on Monday night. I wasn’t sure how he would do because he slept so much … Continue reading Lesson Learned…Post-Op Day 8 (a little bit late 😬) →

It’s Moving Day…Post-Op Day 7

Well, it’s Monday which means that the Starbucks coffee cart is back open and all is right in the world again (At least in my need for caffeine world that is).

What do you mean the coffee cart is closed on Saturdays?!?! Post-Op Day 5

Well, when they said things around here slow down (even more than they already have due to COVID19) on the weekends...they weren’t joking! It’s so quiet inside the hospital for the most part. Even the Starbucks coffee stand is closed on the weekend (cue sad crying on this mamas part), thankfully they still serve regular … Continue reading What do you mean the coffee cart is closed on Saturdays?!?!

Therapy is EXHAUSTING! Post-Op Day 4

Well, I struggled with putting this post together because I feel like I don’t really have much of an update. Today was just kinda uneventful for the most part... Last night was pretty good.

Sayonara oxygen!! Post-Op Day 2

Hello again! I’ll start today with a slightly embarrassing and rather funny anecdote...when you spend a lot of time in a hospital, with minimal trips outside into the “real world” you tend to lose all track of time, or in my case days. 😬 I pretty much spent all day yesterday thinking it was Monday … Continue reading Sayonara oxygen!!
