Do you like vanilla Mom?

This afternoon was a bit painstaking...Mark was miserable after his dialysis treatment.  All he wanted to do was eat and drink.  He was so upset all afternoon about his situation.  He was sick of waiting for the Doctors to come and get him!  They were suppose to be here at 3 to bring him down to the operating room.  

That time came and went with no sign of any Doctors.  We were told that they were really running behind down stairs today.  So we waited...waited...and waited!

This is not the best picture...but it has been a long couple of days.

Finally after all that waiting the Doctor showed up.  He took another look at Mark and decided we would not go down to the O.R. after all.  He said we have the time booked and if Chris and I felt strongly about going down we still could.  He felt that Mark had made a bit of progress with his breathing over the course of the day.  We agreed that it would be great not to go down.  If need be things change we can always go tomorrow.   All we wanted to know is when can Mark eat and drink???  The Doctors said that he could start right then we just need to go easy.  Our Nurse ran down the hall to get water right away.  We started with a half cup of water and went from there.  As soon as he had the water he wanted to eat...so we had a vanilla pudding.

First bite of pudding...first bite of food in 6 days!

After Mark got warmed up he was wanting more water and more pudding.  Maybe a bagel too, I told him not to be pushy.  When he was eating his second vanilla pudding (which is not his favorite) he said..."Do you like vanilla mom?"  He was just so happy to be eating....Look at this picture....

The rest of the evening was spent playing with Papa and all the stuffed animals...the stickers Aunt Evy and Bobby sent.....also one attempt to jump out of bed....Finally we are getting better :0)
