Pictures/video of hospital stay and gift :)

Ok finally got those pics up here. 
This first picture is about 2pm Saturday.  It was the first time he was able to get out of bed...after being medicated he was able to walk to this car with a neck brace.  Still not supporting his head totally yet as you can see while I push him down the hall way.

An hour later maybe less here he is supporting his head without the pillow.

And now without neck help at all besides his brace.

Alex and Pat came to see Nic and  here he is with his sister making a poster for his door that says "Nic's room"

Here are all the different cars he had to choose from...I think he drove them all at least 10 times!

Here he is the next day feeling pretty good.  He wanted to take off his neck brace but he still holds his head a little to the right.

I want to also share some other news.  Remember Stefan's X-girlfriend Dawn?  Well she just told Stefan she was pregnant :(  She is due in October.  It's NOT Stefan's baby of course...he hasn't see her in over a year...since her prom actually.  Her boyfriend dumped her once he found out she was pregnant.  She asked Stefan to go to the hospital with her when she has the baby.  They have always been real close even tho they were not dating.  I feel terrible for her and hope that she does ok.  I told Stefan if he wanted to go there he could.  I would even go with him. 

Here is the one and only video I was able to get of Nic in the hospital because we did not have our camera card :(  Alex could not find it when we sent her home for some things.  I forgot I moved it.

Poor little guy; it's good to see him smiling.  Let's hope he can put all this behind him really soon.

Why couldn't Nic hold his head up?  Why did he have such a bad headache?  Did I miss something here?

Poor little guy, I can really see in the pics how bad he felt....bless his little heart. I'm glad he is doing better and hope what ever it was never comes back!!! He looked so sweet in the pictures, that smile is a killer :) I loved seeing him open his box....how sweet he is.

Pooh Stefan....does he feel badly about the girl? I think it's a VERY good idea that you go too....REALLY GOOD!! You just never know what she could talk him into concerning that baby....he has such a kind and gentle heart.

Pooh Hugs,
Linda
