Apple Juice and Chocolate Milk

Levi slept very peacefully last night and has continued to appear calm and comfortable. This morning he sweetly requested apple juice, and slowly slurped that down. He quickly then requested Chocolate Milk!!! It was quite satisfying to fulfill that request for him.

Dan and I also got the best night of sleep since this adventure began, my (Kara's) dad did the night shift with Levi, which we are thankful for.

It's funny that one of the sweet games we used to play was one that he pretended to be puppy and would crawl up to me in the kitchen and bark. I would then rough up his hair and get him a puppy treat (aka. a kids multi-vitamin). I find that funny because now with is face so swollen, to me he looks like a pug. His nose is dwarfed by his face swollen up around it. Sadly, now both eyes are swollen shut.

Looking at the week ahead is somewhat overwhelming. Since we have some of our family leaving town, we are trying to figure out how we are going to manage Kade, our 4 year old, Dan getting back to work and the most demanding job of having somebody at Levi's bedside 24/7. We are so blessed with support, so have confidence that it will work out, it's just figured out that will be our challenge today. I am rather excited for the spread sheet I get to create to organize our week, I'm a dork like that.

We are five minutes from Childrens and have kids for him to play with. Please take us up on the offer if you need, our kids would love playmate. We are around pretty much all week!

  4. Kara, very happy to hear that Levi is healing and requesting for his chocolate milk =) You have my cell number, so if you need me to drop by a starbucks or chipotle or subway - just send the request and I'll be glad to do so. I live near UTC, and am very near to the hospital. God bless all of you! - Gwen
