Hospital Admission

Cameron went for his check-up before our trip to see if we should switch antibiotics and was told he needed to be admitted and put on IV antibiotics. So, we've been here since yesterday. I got no sleep last night, someone came in every 30 minutes at least. Cameron didn't get great sleep. Then we spent a frustrating morning waiting on meds and breakfast. He was so hungry he scooped the butter right out of the container with his finger and ate it once he was done with his bacon and pancakes. The nurse laughed. I didn't even care, I was glad he was getting fat. He is doing CPT every 4 hours here and has been using a vest for the first time. He laughs when it's on because his voice sounds funny from all the shaking. He sometimes complains it's too tight, I think he's just not used to the feeling. It's pretty neat though, I think it knocks a lot around in there. His Uncle Seth and girlfriend Amanda came to visit, which was a nice break. They brought him McDonald's (thank goodness because he didn't like one single thing on his lunch tray from the hospital). He only had about a half hour nap until he was woke up for something else. However, while he was sleeping, he had a surprise delivery. Grandma and Grandpa Hoeptner sent a bouquet of balloons. He LOVES them. He hides in them and likes to carry them around the room. People always say you can't have enough balloons in a hospital room and I guess it's true, he thinks they are pretty cool. He keeps asking people which is their favorite. Then, Aunt Erin sent a gift with 3 zoo lovies in it. Cameron picked his favorite and then sorted all of his lovies by size and where they needed to go around him for him to sleep. Silly boy! He even said he thinks he's going to give one to Trevor. How nice of him. One of the teachers on my team came out and brought Cameron some treats I thought he'd like and then we went to dinner so I could get a good meal and get out of the room for a little bit. Zach came after work to be with Cameron. Nana was nice and kept Trevor late tonight. Zach got him after I got back from dinner. I miss Trevor! I wish he was closer so that he could visit easily. Maybe tomorrow or Friday. I'm having Trevor withdrawal. It's hard with him here though because he likes to push buttons, open and close things, etc. He thinks it's a fun, new place. He was very good the other night though and tucked in with Cameron to watch a show. If he could do that more of the time here he could hang out a little longer. We'll see. Tomorrow morning some time Cameron will do his PFTs. The results from that will determine whether we need to cancel our trip for sure and how long he will need to be here. So, we're hoping for a miracle.

Right now he's finally asleep. He's calling things out in his sleep, tossing and turning, calling my name and seeming frustrated, but asleep so not making much sense! His face is bright red and it's cold in here. Ahhhhhhh!! I hate hospitals!!!
