Yesterday was a good day for us, as Robbie had his first official dirty diaper. Dr. Levitt came in to the room around 1:00 p.m. to check in and Robbie was sleeping. About 10 minutes later he woke up and we started changing his diaper, not even expecting anything to be in there, but to our surprise we had a little present. He has since had poop in each diaper that we have changed and today is starting drink clear liquids. Hopefully by tonight he will be able to have some milk and then get off the IV.
We had another really rough night last night. He is having some anxiety about his bed now and the second we put him in there he starts to cry and won't get comfortable. I finally got him to sleep a couple times last night, only to have the nurses come in and wake him up. We were up, wathching TV, from about 2:15-6:15 a.m. Don't know if there is enough coffee in this hospital to keep me up for the NCAA Tourney today.
We still don't have day when we are getting out of here, but the poop in the diaper definitely speeds up the process. Robbie is not on much pain medicine now, so once the IV is out he will be able to cruise all over and start to get back to a normal day.

Way to go Robbie, poppy diapers are great. When I was VERY young I got nick name shitty shorts, just as Grandma and aunt Kris!
