Ever feel like you're driving in circles? "Look kids, Parliament, Big Ben..." No sooner did we drive away dizzied by the new parking garage at Maine Med, we find ourselves, less than 48 hours later, going back around and around the parking garage up to Level 7 for the entrance to Day Surgery to get James a new port.
A couple of hours and a bit of Versed later, and James had to put the DS down (Gasp!) because the medicine's made him too loopy to be effective at keeping SuperMario alive. A little silly gas in the mask, and J was out. The kind Dr. Hartley took out the old port on J's left side, cleaned things up and put a shiny new one in on J's right side. He's got bandages on both sides of his upper chest and in the hand they used for the IV, so he was the walking wounded leaving the hospital late this afternoon.
Now at home, as he sits and watches Caillou (his little bald fictional twin), he's had his daily dose of McDonald's, and is resting comfortably in the big red chair. One more dose of Tylenol for the sleepy road ahead & it's off to bed for James. Tomorrow's picture day at school! Don't know if simply writing "First Grade" on the back of this picture will really sum it up years from now.
Good night! - Jenn & the boys
