8:00am: Matt's family arrived at the hospital. I stayed with him last night, and Wendy came in to see him when they got here. His tried eating breakfast of pancakes and bacon, with apple juice and milk (YAY), but didn't want to finish until he got his chocolate milk (someone's getting cranky... To me, it means that being here is getting to him, and he's doing better enough to BE cranky. I'm good with that). He drank his milk and apple juice first, and then ordered chocolate milk (he never got the chocolate milk because he threw up all his food before the nurse could get some). Nurse said he is consuming and outputting plenty of fluids; Matt is sick of water and doesn't want to drink any more of the stuff. He's good with ginger ale and other liquids though. When the rest of the family left late last night, he wanted a Coke. The rule had been "no caffeine" on the floor, but he is far enough along that the nurse ok'd it.
8:30am: I was able to take a shower in the hospital this morning while Matt was eating and his mom sat with him.
9:25am: Jen just went in; he was very sleepy but answered her questions (she can get away with it, but for some reason it's easier for him to tell me to keep it quiet). She asked if he was sick of being here, or if he just wants to be home; he said "I just want to be in a different room". He is so polite to the nurses; even when tired and cranky he says "please" and "thank you". The nurse was giving him IV Reglan (for nausea); I asked if he was still nauseated, and he mumbled. He had eaten his whole breakfast, then it all came back up. He now has his own little ice bucket for his drinks (I didn't see any chocolate milk...?). States his head pain is at level 5 now.
