Hospital Day Eleven

Today was rather uneventful. This weekend we're just killing time until the gastrostomy button procedure on Monday. It was my turn to sleep at home - so that's what I did. I ate dinner at about 4:30 p.m. and then crashed at 5:00 p.m. for my 13 hour beauty rest. The previous night I didn't sleep much in the hospital.

If anyone would like to see what a "button" looks like, click on this link for a few images (it's the clear one with what looks like a nipple at the bottom). If you scroll through the images you'll get a pretty good idea what Jonathan's going to have done. It looks a lot like a common rubber opening, such as on a beach ball, inflatable mattress, etc.

Jonathan is back to old self. He's smiling at all of the nurses (the little flirt) and is a busy little bee. I took a few pictures since we're going to end up spending two weeks of our life here.
