day 2 - january 26th, 2014

Day 2 of our hospital stay - on Sunday January 26th - was relatively low key. Ethan's team of doctors had decided to wait until Monday to have all of the tests done that were needed for the official diagnosis and type of leukemia that he has. We got to spend the day getting used to our new room and all of the new things that are now a part of this new life - getting vitals checked every 4 hours, blood drawn every 8-12 and trying to figure out managing an IV pole and tubes with an energetic 3.5 year old.

Ethan was especially excited to see Grandpa Hank and Grandma Denise when they came to visit and we explored some of the fun things they have for patients here at the hospital - we painted some paintings and walked in the outdoor garden that they have. Ethan also had a great night of sleep, although it was a funny night for Pete - who was kicked out of our room when we ended up getting a roommate patient in the middle of the night.
