UPDATE ON JONATHAN

JONATHAN DREW A PICTURE OF DADDY IN A ROCKET SHIP GOING TO THE MOON.

JONATHAN IS DOING PRETTY GOOD USING HIS LEFT HAND. HE CAN DRAW, COLOR AND WRITE REALLY WELL WITH HIS LEFT HAND LEADING ME TO THINK THAT MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT HANDED.

HE HAS BEEN IN SOME MILD TO SEVERE PAIN DEPENDING ON THE TIME AND IF HE HAS HAD HIS PAIN MEDS. LAST NIGHT I ENDED UP TAKING HIM BACK TO THE E.R. BECAUSE HIS HAND AND UPPER ARM WERE REALLY SWELLING AND HE WAS COMPLAINING OF IT HURTING HIM REALLY BAD. SO I CALLED OUT THERE AND THEY SAID TO GO AHEAD AND COME ON OUT. THEY CHECKED IT AND THEN RE-WRAPPED IT, GAVE US SOME PAIN MEDS AND LET US GO HOME. IT'S A GOOD THING THEY GAVE US THE PAIN MEDS BECAUSE THE REST OF THE EVENING, NIGHT AND TODAY HE HAS BEEN IN SOME PRETTY MODERATE PAIN. AT 5 AM IT WAS A 5 OUT OF 5 ON THE PAIN SCALE, GAVE HIM MORE PAIN MEDS AND HE DIDN'T SEE ANY RELIEF UNTIL ABOUT 7AM AND THEN HE FINALLY FELL BACK TO SLEEP BY 7:30. THE REST OF THE DAY HIS PAIN LEVEL WAS ANYWHERE FROM A 2 TO A 4. I HATE GIVING HIM THE PAIN MEDS BECAUSE THEY MAKE HIM CRAZY FOR ABOUT AND HOUR AND A HALF AND THEN HE GETS REALLY SPACEY AND WILL GO TO SLEEP(USUALLY) AND THEN WHEN HE GETS UP IT IS TIME FOR THE MEDS AGAIN. I WILL BE HAPPY WHEN HIS PAIN IS GONE AND HE DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM ANYMORE.

IN THE MORNING WE GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL TO HOPEFULLY GET A CAST IF THE SWELLING HAS GONE DOWN ENOUGH. HOPEFULLY I WILL REMEMBER TO BRING MY CAMERA TO DOCUMENT THE PROCESS, AND OF COURSE IF I DO I WILL POST THEM. MAYBE I SHOULD GO AND PUT MY CAMERA IN MY PURSE RIGHT NOW, SO I DON'T FORGET IT.
