Our first night/day at Children's

Dad and Quinn in our room at Children's

Our happy little guy!

Quinn's crib and the turtle balloon that is watching over him.

We were admitted to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis after Quinn was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis (TM). Our first night was spent getting Quinn settled into his room and trying to get some sleep. Quinn recieved his first steriod treatment and actually slept a few hours. Chris and I are able to stay in the room with him and my parents are at home with Ben. We know we will be here for at least 5 days for the steriod treatments and possibly longer depending on Quinn's progress and physical therapy. Chris and I didn't sleep much as the hospital nevers seems to be quiet and the "beds" aren't exactly comfortable. We are both anxious and scared. We are comforted by all the words of encouragement and prayers and this is what we are trying to think of as out minds wander to the future. Quinn will be evaluated daily by the team of physicians, neurologists, and nurses that are in charge of his care.
