News from the Bubsy Bedside

Bubsy and Mama A had a rough night. He kept wretching (more commonly known by college students as dry heaving). I don't think he slept more than 45 minutes at a stretch, meaning Mama A slept not at all.

But that's all last night. Today, he got off of his oxygen and they pulled his nasal tube. Now his cheeks are free. I learned how to hook up the g-tube and its as easy as promised. His wretching is now much better because that big old nasal tube is out of his throat.

He had a bath. He's dressed. He's about to start feeding through the g-tube. He's playing with his toys a bit. We can cuddle and he's allowed to go for walks around the hospital. His face is still a bit swollen but overall he looks much more like himself, except that he doesn't have tape on his face!

So Bubsy is taking a nap. Mamas are going to eat some lunch and then I'm taking a nap to rest up for our big afternoon walk. The doctors say he's doing as well as they could hope - something we don't often hear during hospital stays. Go Bobby Go!

I bet Bobby is so handsome without the tape...definately top 100 cutest babes ever! Not that he wasn't before. Is the wretching normal? I hope it stops and that he gets some sleep. I am glad the docs think he is doing well.
Love to all!

Top 100? I understand that you can't publicly declare him #1, but at least top 3.
