good day

Dalton had a pretty good day today. He had some pain but nothing unbearable. He used the morphine very minimally and one of his biggest complaints was itching. He was supposed to get up and walk around today but he wasn't feeling that good. He was able to walk to the bathroom but that was it.

His face lit up when brother and sis came to visit. Sullivan showed Dalton the get well cards his 1st grade classmates made. We found the disposable stethoscopes the nurses used when Dalton was in "isolation." The kids enjoyed playing doctor even though it seems Grandpa doesn't have a heart beat. I'm hoping we can take these stethoscopes home since they'll probably throw them away anyways.

Dalton also had another visitor today, Tim and Janice from the PTA and good friends, came by to cheer him up. They came with a Dr. Seuss cat in the hat and a book. Dalton was seen laughing while Janice read to him from his new book "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut." We had a good visit with friends and now Dalton is ready to call it a night. Tomorrow we'll shoot for more getting out of bed and walking.
