Dalton slept all day yesterday away and then had a fair night. He ran a temp. of 101.4 yesterday for a little while but was controlled with tyelenol and ibprofen. Last night, lots of twisting and turning in bed which had alarms going off and nurses scurrying but nothing to worry about.
The neuro residents were in here bright and early as always (6am) to check on Dalton's status then out the door. Nurse change at 7 am, then Dalton was up at 8am. Dr. Sanford, neurosurgeon, came in shortly afterwards to see Dalton and check status. Dalton was alert, talking and being his social self. I think Dr. Sanford spent 10 sec. (not exaggerating) in the room assessing then left.
Dalton's alert and watching T.V. right now. He looks like his normal, sweet little self. So, I was sitting here just about to write that I think we'll go home today considering how good Dalton looks right now when Dr. Einhaus walked in (the neurosurgeon who performed the shunt revision). She thinks he looks good too but wants the neuro resident to come in and tap and flush the shunt (requiring a needle to be stuck in his head and into the shunt). This will just double check that flow is good and if there is any debris in there, this could help flush it out.
Looks like we're staying another night....which means Channing will be spending the day with me and Dalton here in the hospital. If anyone wants to come visit today and entertain us...come on.
