He did it!

We had a busy day. 

Jadon woke just before 7 AM.  We got ready for the day and did a little school work.

Pam came to visit us just after 8 AM.  It was good to chat with her.

After she left, Jadon and I went on a tour of the MRI room.  We got to meet the technician who would do his MRI, see the machine and hear a little of what it would sound like.

Jadon was able to video conference into class for a while this morning.  He had to end early to have his CT scan and MRI.  The CT scan went well.  It is very quick.  Jadon did great during the MRI, too.  He was nervous but they got him comfortable and set to watch a movie.  He wiggled a little but they think the images were good.  Jadon did not like the noises.  Part of the issue was that there are different noises.  The technician would tell him when to expect a noise but it was not always the same noise.  One sound got him pretty upset but he managed to make it through the whole thing.  I got to stand right next to him and hold his hand and feet.   

We finished just before lunch.  Maggie, Catherine, Gabby and Jody came to visit.  They did not get too long to chat with Jadon because he had more school to attend. 

During their visit Jadon got lunch delivered from... Uncle Pete!  Pete Anthony owns Uncle Peteza's, a pizza place just up the street from our house.  He knows about Jadon being here so he brought him lunch.  Jadon devoured 3 pieces since he had not had anything to eat since dinner last night (we kept him from eating just in case he needed sedation today).

Jadon had more school this afternoon.  He and I also took a short walk around the hospital to visit some friends.

Kalina and Grandma came here after school.  Kalina was a little sad this morning but she and Grandma ended up having fun playing at home before school.  They also made us a delicious apple pie.  There is nothing like pies made by Mom.

Later in the afternoon we had a visit from Jo Ann and Steve.  Jo Ann surprised Jadon with an early birthday present. 

We had a nice evening and dinner.  Jadon and Kalina are always happy to see Andy when he arrives.

Jadon informed me this evening that this is the last night I will be sleeping with him while he is in traction.  Andy is going to stay Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.  Jadon is looking forward to Boys Weekend (extended) and Kalina is looking forward to Girls Weekend with me and Grandma.
