Since the bug you got was so bad, you have been in a lot of pain since we got here. So they have put you on some pretty strong drugs. When you are on these strong of drugs, for as long as you are, it is hard for your body to deal without them. Yesterday they tried to slow down the amount they were giving you, and you didn't like it very much. You were up most of the night being really shaky, and mad, and sweaty, so they decided to go back up on your pain medicine to help your body handle coming off of these medications. So then today, you were really tired, and slept literally all day long! We were hoping to take you on a wagon ride around the unit, but you were just too tired. So maybe in a few days we can try again. Right now your legs won't stop bleeding, from the last time you went into surgery. That is the worry of the day, how to make your legs stop bleeding, without hurting other parts of your body. But I remember when we first got here, we had so many worries, and it is very nice now to only have to worry about one or two things at a time.
