August 9, 2015 "UNC again! Day 6"

Sunday-(Day 6) Rayden slept so well last night. I can't believe it! He didn't wake up one time. Now, why won't he do that at home? Of course, I couldn't sleep though. The TV in this room came on by itself about 5 times and I had to get up to turn it off. Weird!!! Not to mention-who can sleep in a hospital? (Rayden apparently, haha!)

After two rounds of antibiotics his wound doesn't look any better to me. It actually started oozing when the neuro team on call came to look at it. They still believe it is superficial (skin deep) which is good news. One of the neurologists pressed ALOT of yucky stuff out of it but didn't send it off for culture. When I asked "why" he said it wouldn't really matter anyway because they were going to treat it the same way, besides Rayden already has antibiotics in his system so the culture may not grow anything.

When the floor doctors heard that he didn't send it off for culture they were furious!! "If it oozes again we MUST send it for culture" they said. While they were all talking and looking at Rayden's belly he started laughing hysterically. I mean his face was red and he couldn't even catch his breath. All the doctors started laughing and crying! This made Rayden laugh even more! It was so funny. He's such a little 'Ham!'

The plan for today is for Rayden to receive his antibiotics every 8 hours and just hang out allowing them to work. He may stay here a few days just to make sure the medicine is working.
