20 days post

Today was more of yesterday, except that now we know that Joel's release from the hospital is scheduled to happen tomorrow (Thursday, March 3rd) late afternoon. It was decided that his lungs aren't getting worse, but that he must feel worse at night because of the activity during the day. He'll have the swallow and sleep studies on an outpatient basis. We'll be back and forth to Peoria for a while for follow-up appointments.

Tonight while Joel was waiting for the breathing treatment he'd asked for, he put his hands over his eyes and asked his new nurse, "Where Joel?" and then said "Kittyboo!" so she'd pick up on the fact that he was playing peekaboo with her. She picked up and said, "Where's Joel?" back at him. He replied, "I don' know." So we acted like we couldn't find him either. Then, since we couldn't see HIM...he hid his mask. Lol, funny kid!

Papa will need to come get us tomorrow as Lora will be in school and Gabe will be at work when it's time to leave the hospital. We should be home by suppertime tomorrow.
Thank you and Praise the Lord!
