Out of the Hospital

Since Hayden lucked out and didn't need a body cast, he was still able to fit in his carseat.  We had to prop up his legs to support the cast. Luckily, we had enough blankets, pillows, and bags to make his trip as comfortable as possible.  Grandma and I must have done a good job.  He was asleep as soon as we were on the interstate...or, maybe it was just the pain meds ; )

                                            


Thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa Smith live half way between St. Paul and our house. It was the perfect place to stop and give Hayden a break.  When we got there, we made a very soft bed for him on the floor.  He is completely exhausted from getting no sleep in the hospital.  He was having muscle spasms all night because his hamstrings aren't used to being stretched out.  It wasn't until about 4am that another medicine was added to help with the spasms.  Only then did he settle down.  I have never seen him so upset in my life.  I just wanted to cry with him.  This was the first time in his life that I was not able to do anything to console him. 

 The plan is still to send him to school as soon as he is able.  If he gets enough rest this weekend, we will send him on Monday.  Hopefully, the distraction will do him some good.  I still have had barely any sleep, so I am going to get to bed while all is quiet.
