Today was day #4 in the hospital for Payton. He was finally given solid food which seemed to make him sit up in bed with such excitement. The minute they brought in scrambled eggs and french toast he sat right up and scarffed it down without taking a breath in between bites. His favorite food is "hot noodles" and he kept calling his scrambled eggs "hot noodles" because he was just so happy to have FOOD. He is also getting very restless in the hospital bed and every time he is put back in the bed insists that "no, No Nigh night" He wants to be up and going and his little body is just not quite ready for the energy and activity inside him. Payton wanted to be up in the wagon or in the play room all day. He was hard to keep up to because he is still connected to his IV fluids/pole. We could tell that he was hurting more because he would run around the room or try and pull his wagon and hold onto his back and say "ow, ow". We have been trying to push fluids with him since he just doesn't want to drink much. This is very unlike Payton since he has always been our "juice" boy and his favorite thing is a Route 44 drink. We are pushing popsicles, juice, water, ice cream, you name it so he can get out of the hospital tomorrow. These four walls are closing in on him and us! We are so grateful that he has come so far in just 4 days and are anxious to get him home and on his feet before we get to start chemotherapy.
