Let me catch everyone up. We got out of the hospital Saturday afternoon. The only catch was they wanted us to check his hemoglobin at the clinic Monday morning because it was almost low enough for a transfusion.
Conveniently, Clayton also started sleeping soundly Saturday morning around 10 am. He had another restless night, but from 10 am through most of the rest of the day he slept and slept. The only hiccup we had was that he had a croup episode and we can't give him a steroid medicine, so we just had to hope the old school steam and cold air tricks worked. They did...this time. He woke up good as new the next morning.
Sunday was a huge misfire. We decided to see how Clayton would act if we tried to go for a drive out of the city. As luck would have it he did great when we left; he even got comfy and fell asleep. So we kept going. Then he started singing a different tune. Once we got back to the city we ended up getting stuck in massive traffic from bridge construction, etc. Long story short, that excursion didn't turn out near as we'll as last Sunday. It was somewhat expected though since Clayton is being weened from the dilaudid.
Boarding plane now, be home this afternoon!
...more later...
