tuesday night update.

travis has been doing much better as far as his pain levels go, and we thought he might get to come home tonight.  we just talked to the doctor, though, and she wants him to stay at least another day.  they've switched a lot of his meds over to pill versions, but still have his steroids in his IV.  they will switch those to a pill form tomorrow to see how he handles it.  if he doesn't have another flare up as far as pain goes, they will likely release him.  he really wanted to come home tonight -- especially with the storms headed our way.  

haley wants to "kick those doctors' butts" because he doesn't get to come home. 

travis and i went for a walk this afternoon when i got here to the hospital.  a very slow walk, but a walk nonetheless to get some fresh air he was pretty tired once we got downstairs so we took a twenty minute break and then headed back up.  he promptly fell asleep -- but not before requesting a watermelon slush from sonic.  i grabbed a slush for him and an orange dream machine for me from jamba juice.  we've spent the rest of the evening in the room. 

i got a little nap on the couch before dad stopped by with the maker's diet.  it's a book written by a man who has crohn's.  dad went to see bobi raney today to see if she had any patients and/or treatments she could recommend.  she sent him home with drops for travis to use to help heal his intestines and this book for us to read and learn more about treatments that worked well for the author.

everyone is so worried about my guy.  i'm so glad there are people who care about us.
