I truly thought coming back to Colorado would lift our spirits and we would all feel up beat but I have to say Connor and I are trying our best but we both seem a bit depressed since yesterday. The transport here even thought it went very smooth was also very exhausting and tiring.
Then we got here to The Children's Hospital - which by all accounts is just beautiful to look at and the rooms could give some Hotel Suits a run for their money - we still felt out of place a bit. We so have come to love all the employees at CMH that we felt a strange sense of home there. Here we arrived and felt like strangers.... Meeting new nurses was kind of difficult because even thought they were nice we still had to go through the effort to explain everything from the beginning which at this point is very trying.
Connor was in the worse mood ever when we arrived because he was hungry, tired and had not gotten his Tylenol since 7 AM in the morning. So when everyone came to make an assessment he pretty much threw a fit. I kept telling them he needs food asap and he really needs some Tylenol for his pain and discomfort. Let's just say even with the best efforts it took and hour to get there and then another to get Connor stable and in a decent mood again.
On the bright side, when Dr. Soep came by after 5 PM he was once again in a happy mood and was very charming.. so I am hopeful we left a somewhat decent impression - ha ha.
We both woke up at 5:45 AM and the night has gone pretty uneventful. Connor got up twice to go to the Bathroom and now he is laying in bed watching Star Wars Klone Wars on the Flat Screen TV. I got to sleep on a very comfortable pull out sofa and I am truly not kidding about the comforts of these rooms. Even the private bathroom is heavenly :)
So, more later about today's Day but just wanted to give you a feel about yesterdays events :)
