Aras has a virus
January 6, 2008 by Jeremy
Aras moved out of ICU today, he was watching basketball in the corner bed of the intermediate ICU ward, with his mother at his side. He was not doing much eating, she told us, and it was clear he was still not back to his usual “chipper” attitude yet. He did perk up a bit when he learned that his new friend Hardi was now being admitted for surgery. After Hardi’s pre-op necessities, he came down to visit Aras. He and Baveel, as well as all of the mothers who just arrived last week, had been asking about him.
Aras was glad to see Hardi and they talked a little while, as did their mothers. They were glad their boys were going to have surgery within a few days of each other.
Aras was moved to another ward today. He began throwing up this morning from a virus, and was still not eating. I saw his mother in the hall, and followed her down the hallways until we found Aras’ new room. He was very subdued, and was on an IV for fluids. His mother was worried, but thankful that he was ok.
