Libby and Michael had a great first day of school. It was so weird not having Samuel with us. It's in those kind of moments that his absence is so blaring.
Samuel had an eventful day. His catheter came out AGAIN! It had also come out yesterday. After several failed attempts to get it back in he had to go to the operating room and have the urologist put in a supra pubic valve. This way it won't get pulled out. It also gives us control of opening and closing the urine valve. The good thing is when we want to try and see if he's "ready" to urinate himself there's no pulling a tube out and putting it back in if it fails.
Because of the failed attempts at putting in the foley catheter his urethra is currently mangled :(
Poor Mike had to be with Samuel and watch him suffer. Not a good day for him.
Tired and ready for bed. Getting ready to leave the hospital and go home. There was so much paperwork to do today for the kids school- so glad I got it done!
Tomorrow is another day. Yawn. I better go so I can drive home safely.
