Where a kid can be a kid

Mason made his first visit to Chuck E. Cheese today. He had a great time and played lots of games. I will say that the pizza has improved since my last foray into the noisy world of the pizza rodent, though not by much. Even though the cuisine was nothing to write home about, the time we spent with Mason was great. Hays stayed at my parents' since he's a little young for Chuck E. Cheese.
He had a good day, too. He hasn't needed any tylenol today and has been pretty content all day long. Will, on the other hand, was really cranky today and last night. I'm not really sure why. His nurses said he didn't seem to be in any pain, he was just fussy. They moved him to the TICU (technology-dependent ICU) today. It has kids of all ages who require stuff like ventilators. He'll be there until he's ready to come home. This is a good place for him because they'll be able to teach us everything we need to know about having a child on a ventilator.
