5/10 morning update


Happy Mothers' Day. It's also Jake's birthday today.

Jake's got still got some tummy ache pain - probably from the medications. Jake will go home tomorrow. Jen is supposed to go home today, although she may have to stay in her Mom's hotel room so that somebody can stay with her.

We had understood that the nephrology department wanted him to go home at the same time as Mom (i.e., today), but the various medical teams don't really communicate with each other very well. Ultimately, the pharmacy portion wasn't done, and since "they close at noon", we have no choice but to have Jake stay until tomorrow.

If we stay here any longer, he'll get to paint a ceiling tile. That's a tradition for long-term patients in pediatric wards.
