Settling In
So we ended up getting back late on Sunday night. I think Rachel and I have spent the rest of this week trying to catch up on sleep. He's not sleeping through the night right now, partially because of the casts, partially because he's stuffy. He's usually up 2-3 times a night right now and has been getting up at 6:30am every morning. We've been switching off who takes the early shift and then letting them nap later in the day.
We accidentally left Paulie, his puppy blankie, in the hotel in Shreveport and luckily the Hurds were able to ship him back to us. We now know we need to find a better exact match because Isaiah was too smart and realized our makeshift replacement was no match for the 4 nights he was without. We're off the pain killers right now and he's back to swinging his appendages around like weapons, but no bruises, black eyes or bloody noses as of yet. He actually has been doing really well compared to last time other than sleeping. He's tried to pick himself up to a standing position while in the casts, but can't for lack of grip, but he has finally been able to transition from laying on his back to sitting up on his own. He's also wearing holes in the heels of his casts right now from banging his feet all over the place. Part of me still can't imagine banging may hands and feet around like he does after having so much surgery done only little more than a week ago.
