We made it home

We arrived home. Luke slept mos of the way, until about 1/2 hour outside of Martinsburg. He began to get very nauseated when we hit Martinsburg but made it in the house and after eating a bowl of cereal he felt better. He is moving around so much better at home. I think he was getting depressed in the hospital-right now he is kneeling on the floor playing with Star Wars figures with his cousin. Our only problem is that he does not want to take his medicine. He is afraid that he will throw-up. He needs to take Tylenol every 4 hours around the clock to keep the pain under control and also a steroid every twelve hours to keep the swelling in his brain down. It took me,(and my 2 sister-in-laws) an hour and a half to get the 6:30 Tylenol dose in him. I am getting suppositories before the next dose, so given the choice, we will see which he chooses.
I am SOOOOO relieved to be out of there. I know I was feeling depressed when his temp was going up - fearful of him being stuck there for who knows how long. My heart goes out to the many families with children in the hospital who do need to stay for long periods. I am drained physically and emotionally after just 3 days.
