wednesday pm:
that damn fever is still persisting, but the docs,nurses, and his parents are working hard to figure it out. everything but that was stable today, spencer's color has come back,his pressure is good also. we saw the surgeon late tonight and he hopes to do an evaluation tomorrow that would allow him to start removing some of the bandages. he had no piss off finger gesture's tonight but we did get a new one. his mother and i are not exactly sure but it was a closed fist with a raised index finger and raised pinkie only. kind of like looking at owls ears. i thought it was rock on?? maybe you guys can help me.
i will leave you with a bit of a tear jerker. (at least it was for his mother and i). spencer's arm is restrained because of all the IV's, beathing tubes,etc that he could/would pull out. anyway before leaving tonight i asked the nurse if we could unhook the restraint for 2 minutes if i held his arm. she agreed and donna and i got the hugs of our lives. maybe 10 seconds each of his fingers going thru our hair. PRICELESS!! Once again ,him getting us the message that everything is going to be OK.
keep the prayers and good thoughts going,again its working

Spence gets my vote for patient of the year! :)
Spencer, I can't begin to explain how awesome it has been taking care of you. Patients like you, families like yours, are one in a million. You make me remember why I wanted to be a nurse in the first place. Thank you and your family so much for that.
You have made such tremendous and miraculous strides and I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to recover from this an even stronger person than you already are. I am amazed at how far you've come in such a short time. Remember, DEEEEEEEEEP SLOOOOOW BREATHS!! I better not see that ventilator in your room when I come back to work in a couple of days!! Hug your mom and tell her to get some sleep! As for you, stop writing notes and worrying about Latin long enough to take a nap for crying out loud!!!
~Missy (the crazy mean nurse who pinches you) :)
