Kaid had a good night, and slept well in spite of having the probe in his nose. In fact, he was used to it within a couple of hours, and it was really no big deal.
Jon and Drake got to the hospital around 9:00 this morning. The boys both had great breathing tests. Drake blew a 297 and Kaid blew a 416. If you haven't noticed the trend, their numbers are way better than when we arrived. I just got to thinking, I'm not sure if I mentioned that we are doing an out patient treatment program. We are only at the hospital from 8:00 - 5ish.
Our day consisted of hanging out at the hospital until it was time to have Kaid's probe taken out. We went for a short walk outside. There is a fast food restaurant across the street called "Good Times." We walked over there to get milkshakes, but they weren't opened yet. So, I made up for it by serenading my family with the "Good Times" theme song. Then I shared my JJ impressions, you know, "kid dynomite!" and "chello!" Yeah, well, they enjoyed that just as much as you can imagine!
At 3:00, Kaid had his probe taken out. It came out easily. The hardest part was removing the tape from his face! Ouch! We're not sure when we'll hear the results, probably on Monday.
We spent this evening shopping at Target for church shirts for the kids, eating at The Black Eyed Pea, and swimming at the hotel. Jon and I felt like we had a date of sorts! We relaxed in the hot tub while the boys swam and carried on in the pool.
Tomorrow we plan on meeting our friends, Todd and Kimberlee, at their church. Then we will spend the day with them and watch the Super Bowl together.
On Monday, we will check in at the hospital for a breathing test, then go to the Denver Mint for a tour. Afterward, Kaid and Drake will meet with a speech therapist to learn some breathing exercises to help cut down their coughing. Currently, the plan is to be dismissed at 9:00 on Tuesday morning.
