It feels so good to be home!
Gray is happy to be here and we are fortunate to have Chris' parents here to help us out for a few days. Gray is comfortable in a lazy boy chair my parents brought over and he can get in and out of it on his own which he appreciates.
Our first evening home, without the nurses was not as successful as I thought it would be. Gray's meds are administered every three hours which is exhausting! Gray is trying to fire me as night nurse, rightfully so. The fail safe system I had designed failed me, maybe because I designed it at 2:45 am. So I gave Gray a second muscle relaxant instead of the motrin he was supposed to get! I called the CDC and instead of locking me up they said he would be fine, maybe drowsy and dizzy, but fine. Well, he was drowsy, he slept until 10:15 am. and he was dizzy all day! I felt awful. So when he tells you his mother overdosed him....he is correct, I did.
Needless to say I have a new plan to try this evening.
My sister and her family will be visiting tomorrow evening and we are looking forward to that. It will tell us a lot about how ready Gray is for visitors.
