Our long nightmare is finally over. Britney Spears performed live today for the first time in three years. What a relief. According to AP reports, Momma Spears appeared in boots, a sparkly pink bra top and a short skirt (with her belly ring out).
On to more pedestrian local matters. Jake is calm right now. That may be due to a medicated calming of the blood pressure, but it's more likely due to the Adavan narcotic dose that they gave him. It really takes the edge off - to a dull curve. He's semi-lucid and communicative, but with a touch of hallucination. The clinical term is "loopy." He's got some of those "stoned" mannerisms - like playing with his lips like they are some kind of new discovery.
His muscles are so relaxed that he can't see anything closer than 6 feet away. The docs believe that's another narcotic side effect, but it had damn well better resolve itself by tomorrow or we'll get nervous.
He's still got a low grade` fever, which spikes in-between Tylenol doses. However, it's much lower than it had been. We don't know the cause of the fever, and they haven't identified any infections other than the C.Diff.
The medical staff is talking about re-releasing us back to the general floor in the next few days if he stays stable. We'll see. Jen insists on pre-inspecting any new room.
They've put him on a hypertensive diet until further notice. That limits him to one gram of sodium per day (1000 mg). Since our attempts at "parental limits" are futile, please don't bring salty snacks. On the other hand, we always welcome the kind of gourmet food that Camille Battista and Susan Bellante brought today - a full-blown Bella Luna dinner including cheesecake. Coupled with the gourmet homemade Italian food that the Carvers brought yesterday, Jen and I are fully carbo loaded. However, despite the fact that all we do is sit and eat, we still try to keep up appearances. Today Jen came to the hospital in boots, a sparkly pink bra top and a short skirt (with her belly ring out).

Ah, Jake. You really must pass on your happy meds to the Miami Country Day mommies. We all could generally use some smoothing out :-) And Jen, you really did look hot today in the pink sparkly bra and boots. I think the look is a keeper.
It was lovely to see Jacob today. I had been going through Jake Withdrawal. Thanks for letting me peek in. I'm so glad you and Larry are enjoying the food. But Susan Billante must take full credit for the yummies. I was just the delivery girl.
I must pass along that I think Mrs. Holsing is having an acute case of Jacob withdrawal as well. We all miss seeing him every day; and Mrs. H was especially sad today without him. See you soon little tiger. We love you.
