[impressively] Prepare to have your withers wrung. We visited Benjamin in his Bed of Pain this evening.
Well, actually it was a Bed of Jello, and a Bed of Toys, and a Bed for Snuggling With Mama, but by jingo, my Benjamin Bunny had an IV so his Gran says it was a Bed of Pain.
We brought an offering of a nifty Viewfinder with Sound, which proved to be an acceptable gift:
Why, it appeals to the kid in Kloesels of all ages:
To be fair, that was when Kirstin was trying to figure out why the sound wasn’t working, but it made a good picture, didn’t it?
After hearing about the horrors poor Benjamin had suffered yesterday afternoon and today, it was a delight to see this:
The last 24-30 hours had taken its toll on him, though, and he was swiftly winding down:
Tomorrow morning he has a pancake breakfast, then is released. This is assuming he’s not one of the 1-in-10 that suffers a recurrence within 24 hours, however. We’ll trust and pray he has a peaceful night, and is able to go home on schedule.

Poor Kirstin! (Not to mention poor Benjamin.) I hope that he is feeling much better this morning and that Kirstin can get a very LONG nap. Keep us posted!
Poor baby!! I hope that he’s home and feeling better now!
So how’s the wee lamb doing?
Come on, Grannie! Update us!

hi olgas freinds mom
My apologies for the tardiness in updating Benjamin’s condition…he’s fine, thank the LORD! Had a wretched night in the hospital, regrettably, which means Matt and Kirstin had wretched nights, and probably whoever was stuck in the rooms next to him. Benjamin took great, and loud, exception to the IV remaining in his hand. What’s weird is, it wasn’t doing anything…it was there Just In Case.
Mind, when it was put in it was necessary and used, but at this point nothing was be administered through it. So here’s Benjamin carrying on like his hair’s on fire but the nursing staff refuses to remove it (“What if we have to put it in again? He’d be upset!”), but finally Kirstin did took it out herself, after which they were able to grab an hour of sleep…until 6:30 a.m. when it was time for Benjamin’s vitals to be taken. :^(
He slept for thirteen hours straight on Saturday night, however.
Miserable! Poor Benjamin and poor Mom and Dad. I’m glad they got some sleep! Hope all stays quiet health wise for a good while!
