Nesting

Well, Daddy & the Dancing Queen are at home, getting ready for Little Poms arrival. They've switched out the bedrooms & are assembling new furniture & putting the new spaces together. The Dancing Queen was (understandably) sad to have to give up her room, so we got her new wall art, sheets & accessories to re-vamp her new space. Now, it's very sophisticated: urban prep with Audrey Hepburn inspired retro accessories. Little Pom has decreed that his space shall have a pirate theme, so it's a good thing we got him a Captains Bed! I've found some super-cheap & fun piratey accessories (thanks eBay! thanks etsy!)- nothing cost more than $10 including shipping- to dress it up, and we used some of our church funds to get him cool bedding. He picked out sheets that have a cartoon version of the Pirates of the Caribbean characters & then I added a cream, brown & blue striped comforter to match.

ETD is sometime tomorrow. They're starting LP on a medication (similar to Flomax) intended for prostate patients, that mgith help eliminate his need for a catheter. Keep your fingers crossed for us. I desperately want it to work, but I'm also unwilling to get my hopes up because it seems like NOTHING has gone easily for us through this process. If this works, it would be an absolute miracle. Otherwise, the Urology nurse came in and talked to Little Pom about the idea of catherizing himself several times a day. The idea was not met with the horror and outrage I expected. But she did get to meet LP's stubborn side. The side that says "No thanks, I'd rather give up Karate then d that." So, we'll see how it goes.
