Jake is asleep right now all worn out from the day. It was an absolutely beautiful day--not just the weather, but having Jake outside with us all day long. :) He was given his 24 hour pass this morning and couldn't wait to get out of the hospital! We had to wait for a bit because the pharmacy had to fill all of his meds. We couldn't believe how many bottles of medicine he had to take with him! It was mind boggling to say the least!
We finally caught the shuttle bus to downtown Siver Spring, MD, to do some shopping. Jake really wanted a slushie, so we were able to find a slushie stand and get one for him. :) He was in heaven! He hasn't been to a movie in a long time, so we took him to one. There was a huge movie theater (something like the Majestic 10 at home) and saw The Despicables. It was nice to see him smile and laugh. We could tell that he was starting to get pretty tired--he even said that his eyes closed a couple of times during the movie. So, we came back to the Mologne House, ate dinner, and came up to our room. Within a short time lying on his bed, he was out of it. It was a long day for his first day outside, but I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself. :)
We need to have him back to the hospital by 10 a.m. tomorrow. Hopefully, he will be formally discharged on Monday and he can start his outpatient therapy the next day. The sooner he gets going on his therapy, the sooner he will be able to come home.
It truly has been a very beautiful day with our son. :)
