Saturday, Ty was still not feeling well, I had him on slow feed of Pedialyte, had a fever. He tossed and turned all night long. Sunday morning he rolled off my bed (2 ft. fall). I was consoling him, thinking he had hit the back of his head - he continued to scream. Figured out rather quickly that he hit his forehead and now had a 2 in. goose egg. We stayed home from church.
He was feeling much better by the evening. I took him to choir practice with me at 6:30. Later in the evening, I was helping Julie grade some papers, when Spencer (14 year old nephew) commented, "Aunt Melanie, is Ty supposed to be connected to his tubing? Isn't that the button that is supposed to be in him?" Quick assessment - button was completely out, no water at all in the balloon. Ty was quiet as a mouse and enjoying his few moments of freedom from the tube.
Later, standing up with Ty from the rocking chair, I made sure he was attached, still, he was. I went to put him in bed, the button was again, out of him, balloon completely empty. Obvious malfunction - big time. Still not panicking, I found the brand new replacement button amongst all the medical supplies, and with Peter's help holding him still, I proceeded to replace the button. For the first time ever, the button did not go into his stomach as it was supposed to. Not panicking, yet, I tried again. It still did not go in his stomach where it was supposed to be. I said a quick, quiet prayer, and was able to get it where it was supposed to be.
Heavenly Father loves us. I am so grateful I did not have to take Ty to the emergency room. (This is one of my greatest fears, being new to the area, again).
On a lighter note....we had the missionaries in our home last night, to join us for dinner. As we were preparing to gather everyone at the table, Jake pulled me down so he could whisper in my ear, "Mom, which one of them is President Uchtdorf?" We have been praying for the missionaries and for the First Presidency in our family prayers, I guess they are one and the same for Jake.
