Maddox didn't say a word until late this afternoon. I have never seen him so quiet for so long.he is starting to perk up a little tonight though. He is getting the mischievous gleam back in his eyes.

He had some nausea earlier in the day but he's been good since 4:00, even drinking water. Last night I ended up in a chair again with my head between my legs sipping on apple juice. sigh. I really need to get over this. He had woken up in pain though, so I think that's why.

We took him for a wagon ride around the floor this evening. He was not thrilled to get out of bed. At. All. But he did great. We saw some other children with I.v. poles and tubes, so I think that helped him to see other children walking around with their tubing.

My sister came over today with loads of chocolate, wine, and puzzles and glitter glue. It was so nice to have her here.unfortunately Maddox was struggling with the nausea when she came and he ended up taking a nap while she was here. But I am set for the night now! Thank you JUNAL!!! (my iPad always puts her name in caps..it must know how awesome she is)

The first smile we've seen since the procedure. He finished one of the puzzles JUNAL.
