Baltimore: Day 42 (August 28)

Well, we survived Hurricane Irene but Hurricane Robbie rolled into town yesterday and he is still going strong. Irene was pretty impressive though, eight straight hours of heavy rain and 40-50 mph winds. Baltimore got pretty lucky because of the direction of the wind it actually blew the water in the bay south, toward the ocean and didn't cause any severe flooding. There were some power outages but for the most part everything was good here.

Robbie on the other hand blew hard for about 14 hours, starting at 9:00 p.m. last night and went strong until about 11:00 a.m. this morning. It is a combonation of a bunch of things that are causing this hurricane: two molars coming in, bladder spasms, fever and the fact that he has been strapped to the bed for five weeks and two days. We really think that he is starting to go a little stir crazy and wants nothing but to go outside. This we know because he is constantly pointing toward the window in the room and whining. Anyone that has been around him at all knows that he absolutely loves being outside and will do anything to get there.

As annoying as the bladder spasms were last night, the Urology team thought there was a silver lining because, there was some drainage from the penis and this means that things are working okay and hopefully once all the tubes are out things flow properly.

We are now just sitting in his room with Aunt Janell, enjoying his favorite CD and hopefully going to see him sleeping for a while.
