Stayed in hospital last night

Since his urine didn't get clear by 6pm (he finally peed shortly after 3pm after we woke him up from the nap), and after the CPM chemo he would need 4 more hours of IV with plenty of fluid intake orally for 4 additional hours, the doctor gave us the option to either stay over night and finish 8 hours of fluid over night, or come back next day and do it during the day.  I thought it was a no-brainer -- since who knows how clear his urine would be the next day and spinal tap is scheduled for next day.   His urine finally got clear enough by 9pm and it was a peaceful night with lots of diaper change in the sleep.  The only part that didn't work out well, is that our original OR appointment was 11am.  We were hoping to be discharged first thing in the morning, then go to our outpatient OR appointment.  But it still didn't work out -- I'm suspecting for insurance reasons, that we are not technically outpatient today.  We were just told that we are now an add-on for inpatient OR -- the earliest is 2pm.   :(  That means no food for Lucas since last night till late in the afternoon...

I also need to learn to administer the ARAC IV at home.  So after the OR, we will come back to the "hotel room" and the nurse will watch me do it for today -- to make sure I feel comfortable doing that at home tomorrow and Thursday.
