Kayson Strong as an Eagle Day 8

Saturday 1-27-18
It was so great to wake up to three of our babies with us.  We met up with daddy and the other two babies and went to IHOP for breakfast.  The food was good but we will not return to that IHOP, Glenn didn't get part of his meal and they tried to charge him for it and they weren't that nice and the place was so cramped.  it was very disappointing.  So when we arrived at the hospital, Glenn still needed breakfast so he went to the cafeteria and I took the babies to the gift shop, their treat for this visit, you get to pick one thing in the gift shop for yourself.  Glenn and I had walked through the shop before they got here and didn't see anything too $$$ so we didn't set a limit.  Well, leave it to Keegan to notice something in the case just down the hall that's sold in the gift shop.  A dinosaur kit that you build $150!!!  WHAT?!> lol  So I called his daddy and we decided no, we said IN the store and technically that wasn't!  He was disappointed at first but then he found this other buildable dino that was under was $20, much better and it was his fav dino anyways so it all worked out.  Then Glenn came and found us and we all went up to the playroom.  That place is amazing.  Daddy stayed with the younger three while Glenn and I and the teens went up to visit Kayson.  The teens put his ER stickers on his scrapbook to decorate it and talked to him.  Then we went back to the playroom and Glenn took daddy and Keegan and Cayden up.  The hospital had given a new small box of legos that they got to build some things for Kayson.  They built him a plane with a sheep on it, a car and a house and they are sitting on his table for when he's ready for them.  His Aunt Bebe and Uncle Brian also came to see him.  She walked 11 flights of stairs to see him bc she can't do elevators!  Then we took the kids to Kohls bc the boys needed shoes.  They were excited to pick new tennis shoes.  Cayden's light up and he put them on as soon as we left the store.  Keegan also requested new flip flops.  My babies are so special, they wanted to get Kayson something in the gift shop and they wanted him to get shoes too (paw patrol!).  I love their hearts so much!  While we were in the shoes and I thought we were alone, Kalani started dancing so I was dancing too, encouraging her to dance more, so cute and then I realize we have an audience!  lol, this lady thought it was so cute and then we talked and she works at a hospital and found Kaysons page on fb and liked it while we were talking.  It was sweet.  Then back to the hospital for lunch and more visits with Kayson.  Then it was time for the babies and daddy to head home.  We were sad and exhausted.  It was a good day but it was sooooo tiring, reaffirming that they are where they need to be during the week.  Kayson was weaned off his coma med (they turned it off) during the day but still sleeping bc it is a slow process and the med stays in the system for awhile.  This day was about the other babies.  Kirsten cried when they left.  We went to our room and crashed.
