Friday morning we had our 2nd MRI. They took him down around 10. The nurses told us that it would be an hour or so before he would be done. When we left our room to go eat we found out that we had visitors. Sarah and Dorthy were waiting for us. A few minutes later my parents showed up. So we all went down to the Orbit cafateria and ate lunch together. After lunch we came back to see Blake. He was doing good. We all hung out waiting for the MRI results. Our surgeon was in surgery all day so we would have to wait till Sat. Blake was able to eat his first 'real' meal. We were so excited to see him already doing so well. We had lots of visitors. Blake was so happy to see everyone. The hardest thing was the whole rotating visitors-we were only allowed to have 2 people in our PICU room. So phil and I traded turns going to the waiting room so friends could visit.
Saturday went by slow. Blake was more alert and eating well. Finally around 3:00pm they told us we would be moving back to 2 Henson. I was so excited. Sleeping in the PICU was a challenge. We had 1 recliner in the room-that was it. It was a small room, so phil slept in the waiting room. They had some pull out beds. I slept beside Blake in the recliner. It was hard to sleep because the nurses had to check him every couple hours. I ended up just cat napping. Once they moved us to 2 Henson room 12 I was happy. It had a twin bed and our own bathroom!! PICU we didnt have anything. Being able to have a mini fridge and our own toilet and SHOWER was great! We finally were able to unpack and settle in.
