Sleeping in the hospital

I think it's pretty easy to forget what sleeping in a hospital is like. At 2am Scott woke up with pain in his abs and head. He said it felt worse than anytime he's worked his abs to the point of pain. So he had a hard time getting back to sleep because of pain and "this room it so loud, the beeps and noises are annoying". Yay for meds though not long after getting some he slept fairly well.
By 6am the nurse was in to check him over, get him up and give pain meds, by the time she was done we were both wide a wake and waiting for the kitchen to open at 7am for him to get breakfast. Luckily we have a frig in our family room. I was able to save his milkshake last night and he had the other half of it while he waited for breakfast. What a room!

Micheal, who works closely with Dr. Newell was in this morning and very happy with the amount his 'bubble' has gone down. He said the more he sits up the faster it will go down, good old gravity. He ordered for PT and OT to come in. By 9am we had the PT here to take Scott on a walk. He was able to walk the whole hall and back without 'troubles' his gate/stride is very small again and he feels uneasy on his feet, but we're hoping he feels up to a walk later and will put on his shoes so he feels more comfortable.
OT came in just after lunch and really worked with him. He got up and dressed in his own clothes, ran through the morning routine and walked the hall with his shoes on.
The kids came later to visit with Suz and Whitney. They were able to stay for over 4 hours without the kids getting to restless because they had their own room to watch shows and play in. Once again being a VIP is AWESOME! But I don't recommend going the route we did to get this room :)
