I'm feeling a lot better!

So I'm able to sit up in my bed and play without it hurting now! It's been that way for a couple days now. I didn't have fever pretty much all day Thursday and most of the day Friday! Hopefully, the antibiotics are working! I did have a little fever last night and today, but not too bad. Yesterday, the doctors took out the tube in my back going to my kidney because it must have came out from the right place in my kidney and wasn't doing anything, so I'm a lot more comfortable now. Plus, I don't have to worry about pulling on the tube when I try to move around. My tummy still isn't very hungry, but at least I'm eating a few strawberries or watermelon or jello here and there. Oh! I did eat some popcorn this morning around 2 a.m. Almost forgot about that! I stayed up really late last night! I didn't go to sleep until around 5 a.m., then the nurses came in around 7:30 and had to poke my arm to take a blood sample to see how my creatinine was doing. It went up a little today from the last two days (from 2.9 to 3.1), but I think the doctors expect it to fluctuate a little bit. I haven't used my pain medicine button very much over the last couple days because I've been feeling much better, except for this morning. My back wasn't hurting, but my side was! Really bad! But this afternoon I've felt tons better!

I've had lots of visitors! Yesterday, my sister Brailee and my Aunt Ashley came up to see me. Aunt Ashley brought me some silly string so that I can ambush the nurses when they try to pull back my covers. I really like it! I got my mommy, daddy, Brailee, Ashley, and pretty much anyone that came within range (that's silly string all over me and Brailee in the picture). It was really fun. Brailee made a really cool poster for me, and her and Aunt Tamara made a really warm blanket for me that has flames (one of my favorite designs!). My friend Richard came up to see me today and we played with legos. My other friends Zachary and Bradley came with their mommy Kristen today, too. Right now, my Grandma and Papa are here spending time with me and giving mommy and daddy a little break. I love seeing Grandma and Papa! They were really excited to see me sitting up and playing with toys, which made me (and them) happy!

It still doesn't look like I'm coming home within the next few days. But hopefully, my fever won't be coming back anymore, the pain will be gone for good, and my kidneys will start coming back around soon!! I'm ready to go back to school and play with my friends! Well that's all for now. I love reading your comments! I'll talk to you soon.

Love,
