We are in the middle of December and two weeks passed since the tranplant for Nicolas. I won't lie one bit I was stiff and walking with ice packs is the only thing that helped. The bruise took a good week to heal but it was not bad unless my jeans rubbed tight in the area, so it was sweats to help keep that down.
Nicolas's blood work and testing have been coming back better as there is already showing the transfusion is working. Right now, they are making sure he doesn't get an infection or anything major side effects from it all. The good thing it being from me helps to where his body doesn't try to fight it as much.
He has been on the tired side a bit more and will take two naps during the day. Eating has taken Holly and myself to convince him to eat the small amounts that he has ate everyday. Which Holly told is part of the downfalls that I knew could happen prior to having it done and signing the papers.
Holly spends much of her time with us still but in the last week her patient case load has gained more. The hospital has offered her a position within the pediatric ward. Nicolas was napping when she came in with so much happiness and told me, which I was the first to know not even her sister knew until after their shifts.
Nicolas is currently watching his show and sitting up in his bed, while I am on my computer ordering gifts for him. Christmas is right at us with a little less than two weeks and I won't leave him to go shopping but I can order. The gifts will be sent to my house and Tony is going to pick them up and ready them for Nicolas.
I haven't worked out how I will have him open everything because not everything needs to be here in the hospital room, but I know three of them will be brought here for him on Chirstmas day and then one from Santa.
Sure many would say that a seven year old should not still believe in Santa. First off, I could care less if he knew and believed the rest of his life I would be happy to still do it. I have kept that side of him after losing my wife because I want him to have a childhood for as long as possible.
There is a knock on the door and Holly pecks her head in.
"Hey, I thought you went home for the night." I close my laptop and stand, smiling at her.
"Well, technically I did go home." Holly laughs and walks in .
Hot damn! This is the very first time I have seen her in normal clothes and not scrubs. My eyes are roaming and trying to stay in their sockets at the moment. Holly has on dark wash jeans and a red shirt on that is hugging the curve of her hips to the thin waist and amble rack on top.
Drool check? Nah, I don't even care.
"I came back because there is something very important missing for you two." She smiles.
"What's that Holly?" Nicolas moves on the bed some and chirps up.
"This." Holly giggles and pulls in a box from outside the door.
