The Pierce FamilyFirst of all... Please excuse my awkward adolescence in the above picture, however I know y'all are jealous of my overalls AND red socks - Eat your heart out! Mental Note: If I have a little girl, make sure to grow her bangs out when she's itty bitty (ahem, Mom). I love little Bobby's expression!!
Nurse Serena gave me the update about an hour ago... He is stable today, and his heart rate is normal. His blood pressure is a little high, but she said that seems to be "normal" for him. He is still on IV nutrients & medication (they had to switch back from pill form), as his throat muscles are not working. Nuss said during his visit last night that Dad was complaining he was "dying of thirst" (of course they're keeping him hydrated, his mouth is just dry), so he gave him a wet paper towel to suck on & he even coughed with that. The speech therapist came by this morning to start working with him - They attach little electrode stickers to the skin on his throat, and they stimulate the muscles through pain-free "shocks" - Anyone ever had that done to their back muscles at the chiropractor? Kinda like that (ahem, David Slade)! :) Anywho, they came by this morning and the stickers were pulling on what Serena called his "neck beard" so they are coming back later after she gives Dad a good shave. And that's all for now...
XOXO Hallie
