Well we shaved Christmas eve. Everything was covered in hair. Jason could hardly wait for me and the boys to get up to the hospital. Critter was actually excited. I think he was tired of eating hair. He still rubs his head and says "new hair cut." We always have fondue on xmas eve so we did it in the hospital this year. It was fine the boys enjoyed it but Critter put everything in his mouth and spit it out. It's like it has a sour taste. He didn't eat anything and eventually fell asleep on the floor.
Christmas morning the boys and I went up to the hospital and opened presents. Luke and Dallin had fun and thought it was great but Critter just wasn't feeling great. I opened his presents for him and he played with legos for a little bit. This picture is all the boys with their legos! Then he layed down in the middle of his legos and dozed in and out. So we decided it was time to pack up the other kids and go. When Jason left with the other three kids Critter realized that they were all going home. He started crying saying he wanted to go home. This was the first time he really wanted to go. He has talked about going outside but we can usually distract him. After all his new stuff he got for christmas he just wanted to go home. All I have to say is I hope next christmas is better.
As for his health...well he still isn't eating so we are getting TPN through his central line, he hasn't thrown up in a few days so I think they will try an NG tube again tomorrow. He hasn't had fevers in a few days but I think he just still feels crappy. He spends a lot of time sleeping and just doesn't feel like doing much of anything. We are hoping when his counts recover he will feel better and return to the happy Critter we used to know.
