Mommio: Connor's Hospital Stuff

A quick tour of Connor's hospital stuff.

Here's Connor in his hospital bed.

This is the control panel for the bed.  Hours of fun!

Here's his empty breakfast tray.  He had eggs and bacon.  They have great room service...he can order anything he wants from the menu, anytime of the day and it shows up 30 minutes later.   I hear he had chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes for lunch.

Here is Connor's IV.  Soon to be replaced by a picc line- which is a type of IV that has a direct line into his system and is made for long term drips.

Here is his IV stand and all the bags of stuff dripping into it.  There are two different antibiotics and some saline.  The box with controls is used to set the amount to drip and how quickly it drips.

Here is what his leg looks like right now.  It is inside a knee brace, under that there is an ice pack that is hooked up to an electric cooling pack and there is a drain in his knee.

Here is his drain.  It's really different from the one Daddio had.  He will probably be getting it taken out tonight.

This is the cooling unit that they so LOUDLY refill in the middle of the night with ice.

This is his new wheelchair that we will rent until he is allowed to bend his leg.

Here Connor is getting a ride.

Here is the white board where they write the names of the nurses and the date.  This is very important because the nurses are changing often and it is also really easy to forget what day it is when you are sitting in the hospital.

This is the teeny, tiny guest bed.  It opens up so that two adults can sleep on it.  It's very uncomfortable but MUCH better than the pull out chairs they had at the last Children's Hospital.

And here is Daddio in his favorite spot.
