On the Move x 2

Last night (or early this morning) around 1:00, we moved to an empty room down the hall so Alex could have his own room (at least until someone filled the other bed). His roommate was not terrible in the other room, but this gave us a clearer path to get in and out of bed as well as some quiet for sleeping. He slept pretty well between bathroom trips, blood sugar checks, weight checks, vitals, etc. And the best part...his temp started rising at around 11:00, but only got up to just over 100 (thanks for the energy flow, Mom...it worked!).

We have a wonderful nurse this morning named Marlene who just had a grandbaby of her own on Sunday. Her daughter is a pediatric physical therapist who is about our age. She brought pictures of baby Ty by in her "grandma's brag book" to show off. Now that we have moved to our new room and have a fantastic nurse, they have found a room on the colorectal floor for us. :) And...we got the floor that we requested!! His new room number is M53, bed 19. This is the same floor we were on in January, and the nursing staff was phenomenal. Marlene is also good friends with our favorite nurse from that floor, Barb, so we are going to see if we can get her, too. In January, all the M53 rooms were private, so hopefully that is still the case. We are just waiting for nursing to finish report to start the move.

One specific prayer request-Alex did have a short bout of severe nausea this morning followed by lots of vomiting. It came on very suddenly and was over as soon as it began. God's timing kicked in and Geisler's fellow came to round just as they were paging them. He changed Alex's diet back to clear liquids from full liquids for today until we're sure things are settled back down. He won't miss much of anything other than his red gatorade :(. He is feeling much better and sleeping soundly right now. Dr. Ogilvie (the fellow) said the vomiting and diet change was just "a bump in the road" but the decreased overnight temp, bloodwork, bowel function, and other vitals still looked wonderful.

We'll keep you posted on move #3 :). Love to you all.
