It was so awesome to have Steven home. I asked him how he slept last night thinking it would be awesome without anyone interrupting him, and he said he got up every 2 hours! Not sure why be hopefully he will retrain his body to not get up for an invisible nurse.
A good friend left several boxes of disposable towels and a baby monitor on my doorstep yesterday! Brilliant! I've never seen these disposable towels before and they are perfect. Steven isn't supposed to use a towel more than once. The baby monitor is perfect for when we aren't in the same room.
I spent a good part of the day sanitizing dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans. What does he want for breakfast? Toast.
I was a little nervous maintaining his Hickman catheter today. It could be because we weren't in a hospital with a qualified RN standing nearby and a crash cart within reach. It actually went well...he's still breathing, that's my confirmation.
He is pretty tired. He wasn't expecting that. We thought we would take a short walk around the block. We didn't have to call MediVac but he was pretty done after that. Baby steps.
Halloween has always been our high holiday. Our neighborhood is so crazy amazing on this day. Last year I gave out 500 pieces of candy. I thought of so many things he could have gone as this year: Mr. Magoo, Mr. Clean, a genie or Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. Steven will stay inside this year with Koda. He is supposed to avoid crowds, large numbers of people and close spaces with people. My neighborhood qualifies for all of the above! Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Steven & Karen (and Koda)! So thankful you're all together for this and many more wonderful holidays to come! 🎃❤️👻👹💀
