Post Christmas Gift?

Well, Davin was not able to come home yesterday. We must admit we were a bit disappointed, but would much rather him be there another day or two then have to go back.

Davin is looking for a bad pin cushion! Poor guy has been stuck so many times over the past 4 days. But, thankfully I think they are pretty much done with taking all the blood, giving meds via drip, etc. The reason they have not allowed him to come home yet, is because while his BP has improved it tends to spike for no reason and that is of concern. So the doctors are doing all kinds of tests on him to try and find out why this is happening. Their concern is that there is something more than just normal hypertension that is causing the spikes. However, as of yesterday afternoon the drip meds were stopped completely and now he is on pill form only. They were giving him pill form, while continuing the drip. As of this morning, Davin reports that his BP has been better than ever so the meds seems to be working great! Here's hoping today is the day he will get to come home! Although, I am trying not to get my hopes up. :)

Davin did receive an extremely special visit yesterday. For those of you that may not know, Davin began cooking meals for our local fire station over a year ago. We coined it "First Friday Feed a Firefighter". The guys loved it of course! If you have had the pleasure of Davin's cooking, then you can relate! Anyway, Davin's mom called the fire station and told them of Davin's condition. They showed up yesterday and brought Davin a framed fireman's badge that said "Get Well Soon from the guys at Station 5!". As soon as I can download the pics from my phone, I will post a picture of it. It was incredibly special and meant more than they will ever know. They did ask why we didn't call them, as they would have gotten him to the hospital as fast a possible and taken good care of him! Good to know we have friends in special places!!

Well, again I am hoping today will be the day to bring Davin home but if not then my goal is by New Year's Eve!! For those of you that knew of our vacation plans to California, yes they have been cancelled. We will reschedule for a later time once Davin has been released to do so.

Write again soon...
