So today we were admitted to The University of Michigan-Mott's Children's hospital. We arrived here at 12:30 and just did the basic stuff...vitals, assessment and paperwork. We realized once we arrived to the hospital that we had misplaced Braden's "favorite ELMO" and if you know Braden you know he does not do anything or go anywhere without that ELMO! We had stopped to eat lunch prior to the admission and that is where ELMO was left at....So Ian had to run back to retrieve ELMO and delivered it to Mr.Braden. The doctors who will be following Braden throughout his hospital stay were in to see him...and orders were received for a clear liquid diet, IV, and a bowel prep! All of which Braden was not thrilled with. After 2 unsuccessful IV attempts...third time was a charm and the IV went in very smoothly and Braden was such a trooper....and was saying knock, knock jokes with the nurses! Then came the bowel prep....we mixed it with sprite and Braden took it right down like a champ! And then we started in on the clear liquid diet...and he has consumed 5...yes 5 bowls of jello! We are now cuddling and watching Disney Channel cartoons. Surgery will begin tomorrow morning at 0730am. Love to all who read! More updates to come!
