We're going to keep him here for maybe a week or so before we try to move him up to [[The Hughes Center]], just so he can recover mentally from the mad pace of events this past week. (We do need to get him up there by [[2010/04/30|the 30th]], though, or certain paperwork will expire and we'll need to do more legwork.) | We're going to keep him here for maybe a week or so before we try to move him up to [[The Hughes Center]], just so he can recover mentally from the mad pace of events this past week.

===Sandy's Addenda Post=== | |||
'''Slight correction/addedums:''' | |||
Josh din't seem to me to be actually sleeping whilst we were waiting; more like a kind of a bored dozing sort of thing. | |||
It was an aide/person/thing who initially came & showed us that we could adjust the chair/gurney/bed thingy; she was the one who said we could turn off the lights & did so. | |||
Also, it was sudden activity in the room across from us that got Josh up & impatient just before 7:30; and it was about then that our across the hall neighbor got wheeled off and Josh was all, "oooooh, i wanna dooo thaaaat"... | |||
Aaaaand his "team" after trying to get oral sedatives into him with no luck saw that he was ready & willing to be wheeled off as well, and did so. | |||
(and anyone pondering the logistics of such things, we had arranged with the grandparents to have B&Z taken to school and they were absolutely fantastic at getting ready all by themselves) | |||
Oh and something that W was not there for initially was when they took me back to be with Josh when he was waking up from the anesthesia... it was actually quite an emotionally wrenching thing for me... he seemed so.. fragile and delicate... slowly surfacing from that muck. So very vulnerable and i nearly cried as i sang his traditional praise song to him, "You're So Strong, You're So Smart; Josh was born with a Loving Heart" *sniffles even now when writing this* | |||
... | |||
i also want to mention that everyone at Memorial Hospital (yes, even the security guards one of whom even cracked a momentary grin and said "no problem" when apologized to for the trouble) were Wonderfully Nice and patient and Mostly Cheerful. i can't praise them enough for their care of Josh whilst he was there. | |||
... | |||
So, woo, quite a day: from 4am-ish to 9:30pm-ish... am i exhausted still this morning? Why yes. Yes i am | |||
