Hunter, seems to be doing well today. His pressure is at 17 and temp. 98, that is really good for how much they have been moving him today.
I guess I can explain that.
Hunter doesn't like it when they move him, His reading on the machines kinda go crazy every time they do something. He has always been the kind of person who wants to be left alone and not be bugged. (wonder where he get that from) So because of that they have not been able to turn him in bed, so he has been in the same position from the first time they tried to turn him.
When the take him in for ct scans the have to haul everything with him, that's a lot of stuff. It took around 1 1/2 hrs to prep him this morning, just to take him down for it. I have no idea how they lift him and everything off to another table for the scan, all I can say I'm glad it's not me, he's a big boy.
I'm not sure where going to see the Dr. about the scan today it's 4:00 and haven't seen him yet.
Randy and Diann brought their kids by, it was nice to see him, I wish Hunter could of had gotten up and gone and played with his buddy Kaden and Javon. They play so well together, he'll have to hurry and get better so the can play star wars and Pokemon. And it was Bailee's birthday, She's 8 and will be baptized on Saturday along with Gage getting his name and blessing. Maybe with the three boys they'll be able to take on Hunter.
Angela followed Randy and Diann here also, We made her to the hard part and read every one's blogs out loud to us in the waiting room, Mom and Dad where here too. Mom started reading, handed it to me, and then we handed of to Angela. She was the only one that could get past the first line, of Alex's story. I still can't read everything or hear it, I had to get up and leave while they finished reading, Marsha and the Kids got here just as we finished up.
I don't think Alex realizes what an example he is to his little BIG brother. He has been so good to include him in his activities. I don't know what Jessica said to Alex in one of her late night talks in the bedroom to him a few years ago when she came home from college, but ever since then Alex and Hunter got along so well and did many things together. In fact Alex want Hunter to go to the church to practice basketball Thursday so they would be awesome for CBA. or at least look like it, Alex came out in his red shorts, white shirt, and new sweat head and wrest bands that matched. Hunter didn't want to go, he was enjoying laying on the couch next to his dad watching TV and me telling him and him arguing that he was not going to speak in church on Sunday. I finally told him to go play and he didn't want to. So I told him he could go play or I could find a job around the house to do. Hunter could make up his mind fast when the choice was placed before him. Of Course he chose basketball with Alex and Sam.
I thought something would happen to Hunter, just didn't picture it this way, It was suppose to be more like, Hunter blew up something in the back yard playing with match and deodorant, or Experiment went wrong. or Hunter was demolishing his mom's new ...... and he gets hurt. or Hunter found new fireworks or made his own, or C20 canisters and Paper rockets and pine wood derby cars just don't go together.
Hunter loves to take things apart, he never puts them back together but always takes them apart. I could clean his room and find all kinds of things that used to be mine. Of course you had to find more than one piece to figure that out.
He is a great kid, and if you ask him, He is my favorite, I love him dearly and hope I am up to do whatever it takes to help him. May the Lord bless me with patience to go along with my stubburn head that he will do everything he did before (plus like to read.) we keep telling him in his ear when the nurses aren't looking that he loves to read and he's good at it to. (I hope it works).
I don't know if this makes any sense, I'm here in his room all by myself, everyone has gone and I've been up with him since last night. Mom and Dad went over to Uncle Kenny's for Marsha's birthday dinner and then they are going to come sit with Hunter while I go get some good sleep. You'll have to forgive my spelling and grammer, I am tired by it would be bad anyway, Hunter did get his wonderful skills from someone.
Thanks for all the prayers, and concerns we will pull through this, because Hunter knows Mom Always Wins!!! so don't even try to beat me.
We are at our 72 hour mark, things should start going down from here.

Hunter,
ReplyDeleteMalachi was looking for you today at church and all the other boys said that too. You're always the last kid I drop off after activities and our family misses seeing you for this short time. I'm looking forward to getting you back out to Young Men's and around the neighborhood.
Kai and Amy
We are pained at the trials your family are going through but you are a strong and awesome family. We are here to help in any way we can and we will keep your family in our prayers. We are grateful for the blog and will stay in touch through your blog.
ReplyDeleteKim and Duane,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since we've seen or spoken, but I want you to know that my family is thinking about and praying for you and Hunter. Our nephew here in Florida suffered a similar injury a few months ago, but miracles can and DO happen. Our nephew is a testament of that. May the Lord bless and keep you always. Our hearts are with you.
Love,
Dana "Warthen" Wainwright
