Kayson Strong as an Eagle ~ surgery day 5 ~ sibling visit!

Friday 6-8-18
Marmie said Kayson had a rough night.  :( But we were looking forward to Papaw bringing all the siblings to visit.  We were so excited to see them!  Glenn had to go down and get Papaw and baby girl though bc the front desk said she couldn't come up.  The hospital is redoing their ICU and moved it down to the floor we were on so Glenn just had to let them know we weren't in ICU and she could visit.  Today was going to be a big day too bc they wanted Kayson up and that meant wearing his collar again and childlike came by too to take us to the playroom.  They brought in two new sets of pads for his collar so they would be clean for his incision and we had only had one before so they weren't getting totally cleaned properly, just wiped off bc he had to wear the collar 24-7!  I was so glad to be able to get rid of that first set of pads and have two brand new sets so now we can change them out and clean them properly, that had really been bothering me.  So we got his collar on, all his IVs out and got him dressed and off to the playroom!  Chris and Papaw played pool, I played Chris once too.  The other boys played the Xbox, they have multiple screens for their Xboxes!  Kayson also played with legos.  Kalani ran all over the place and played kitchen and riding toys and little people farm and climbed in the soft play area and played basketball and watched the bubbles in the middle display.  lol.  Kayson was walking around and playing and not complaining of pain and just looking so much better, he just needed his siblings!  Then the playroom was closing for lunch so we went down to the hospital studio where they were playing bingo.  We got to go in to play and meet Boots the dog.  All the boys won a prize.  While we were doing that, Glenn ordered pizza and it was delivered to the hospital and we took it back up to Kayson's room for lunch.  After Kayson had his meds and more X-rays.  Then the boys worked some on his new after surgery lego set, Kayson also blew bubbles for Kalani.  I was getting so tired and had a slight headache, I felt guilty bc having all the kids there was so great but also so tiring, I was almost ready for them to head home.  #horriblemothermoment!  Then Glenn and daddy took them all to the playroom on our floor, its smaller than the big one but still cool.  Kalani got fussy so Kirsten brought her back to the room and put her to sleep.  While we were sitting in the room, his neuro surgery doc came in and explained that she wanted us to stay in town till monday bc he had an angiogram scheduled but since all his meds were by mouth now and he was doing so good, she felt he could be discharged to RMH!  We could leave the hospital!  and his siblings could be here to see it and timing was just so cool and amazing!  So we packed up the room, signed all the papers and we were off!  Glenn and Papaw went to get the vehicles and met us at the front door, Kayson was wheeled out, the red wagon was unloaded into Star (the Jeep), everyone said goodbyes and loaded up in the vehicle they were leaving in, Kayson got to keep the hospital pillow and she even gave him the sheet, lol, he was so excited.  Papaw and the siblings headed home and we headed to RMH.  After we got to RMH and was resting before dinner, we got called that Papaw and the kids had been involved in a hit and run!  Thankfully everyone was fine, they barely felt it bc it was a small car and there was minimal damage to Silver, PTL!  Then it was dinner time, got a text that they made it home safe, rested some, took a walk to get a snack, tried to go back through the courtyard and discovered they had locked the doors to get back in, so we could get out but none of the doors would let us in, Kayson got really worried, that made me so sad, I assured him we would be fine, we had our phones, we weren't stuck.  I saw a cleaning lady and knocked on the door and she let us in, no worries but I don't understand why they lock the courtyard doors at all, theres no outside way into the courtyard and if you're going to lock it so people can't come in, shouldn't you lock it so they can't get out?  or at least put signs on the courtyard doors stating they lock from inside at such and such time so people don't get stuck outside???  Then to the room for night and SLEEP!!!
