7:30am

I got to see Korbin smile, giggle and get excited this morning! So we have been doing the same lap around the unit day after day, so at 6:30am ( we been awake since 4am) I told Korbin I was going to run downstairs really fast and get a coffee and I would be right back, Korbin flipped out and started crying and screaming. So I asked Korbins nurse if he could walk us down so mommy could get a coffee cause Korbin wouldn’t  let mommy leave his site. The nurse has to be with us if we go off the floor because the morphine pump. The nurse said “ ya no problem lets rock!”  I was floored! So Went back and told Korbin we could go and he smiled huge and said… “ we better change my diaper cause I got the pee”  LOL We went VERY far!  Korbins room is on floor 9 we went down to floor 2 and to the east side of the hospital!!! He walked there and back… I am such a mean mommy I said if you want to go you will walk all the way… He never once asked to stop or sit down. The nurse being a softy let him sit when we got to the coffee shop J  Then he walked all the way back..  Really proud of him, way to go Korb!!! Now he is exhausted in his bed. J I bought some Honey Nut Cheerios for him to try to day…

8:00AM

Going to interrupt myself.. the surgeons just came in… Today is the BIG TEST! His first day off the antibiotic, we have to stop somewhere and see what happens…   Yep I almost lost my breath when they said this, but its true we have to see what happens. Can’t keep him on antibiotics forever;  We will also cut the food by IV back to only 18 hours instead of 24 hours, so hopefully he will get an appetite and slowly try to get him eating again… It’s been two weeks since he has had solid.  We have also decided to take away the morphine pump and do oral pain medicine if needed. Also they said if that’s now working they can always do morphine shots in the IV this way Korbin can be a little more mobile which we all think will greatly help him!

8:30AM Just took morphine off...
I cant keep up this morning.. :)
