Out of ICU

Jackson is now out of ICU and in a regular room. His doctor, Dr. Barcelo, came to see him today and said that he should be able to go home tomorrow (Thanksgiving day) at around 10. We are so excited to hear that news. Because I couldn't go to the hospital to relieve Chauntel, our home teacher who sits with Chauntel and the kids and helps entertain Jackson during sacrament mtg. went to relieve her so she could take a break and get something to eat. She was worried b/c Jackson had not let her put him down since waking up from recovery. She tried, but he would fuss so much that she just held him - for over 24 hours straight! She was worried how he would act for Br. Treanor, but she came back to find him asleep in Br. Treanors arms. They had been playing and Br. Treanor had him in the wagon pulling him around the 6th floor. Jackson really likes him alot. I was glad she was able to get a break.
We're excited for Jackson and Mom to come home tomorrow. I'm feeling better, but the kids have been coughing so bad for the last 2 days and now Isaac tonight has a 100* temp. tonight at bedtime. I've been giving them the cough/congestion meds that their doctor said every 4 hrs., but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for both of them. It's going to be a feat to keep the boys away from each other. I really don't want Jackson sick on top of all this. The hospital was probably the safest place for Chauntel these last few days.
