Today Dr. Pena examined Everett and declared he was OK to eat & drink anything he wants. His first request was for graham crackers and apple juice. While he was eating he asked Mom to order dinner... mushroom pizza, veggie plate, popcorn & chocolate milk. They got everything right except the popcorn..he got kernel corn instead...but he still ate some. He topped it off with a grape Popsicle. Now I hope he doesn't get sick during the night.
Everett is doing great. Now that his veins aren't being pumped full of sugar, he might calm down a bit...here's hoping. The first time I got him down from bed and told him he could come with me to get water he pointed to the pole. When I said he wasn't attached, I saw the light bulb go on... he's going to be more difficult to keep track of.
Tomorrow he begins his enema regiment again. He'll have 2 enemas (his normal amount cut in 1/2 and administered 2 times a day.). Not sure when he'll start once a day enemas but I'm sure Dr. Pena or his staff will let us know.
Speaking of Dr. Pena.. when he came in KP showed him a pair of "googly" glasses (eye balls attached to slinkies). Dr. Pena immediately put them on and started talking to KP...missed a great photo opportunity. KP says he'll miss Dr. Pena when he leaves .. great surgeon.. great with kids.
Now KP is tucked in with a warm blanket... watching 101 Dalmatians...
If everything goes as scheduled he'll be release on Friday. We'll all move into the Ronald McDonald house. He has a post-op appointment scheduled on Dec 16th.
