Oh what a night!
Will woke up at 3:30 a.m. wanting a drink of water. I got him a drink of water, in a cup with a straw. Um, big mistake! He slurped the water down. A couple minutes later it was coming back up! He hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday and that consisted of a small handful of strawberries and a cheese stick. So the logical thing to do was feed him right... so I handed him a few peanut butter crackers and then went back in the bedroom to clean it up. Mr. Will who was very hungry gobbled down 4 crackers in record time so guess what...they also came up! Over the next 1 1/2 hours there was a lot of moaning and cleaning up. Poor Will. I felt so bad for him and also felt entirely guilty. I should have done things differently!
He did finally start to feel better. Whew! So I sent Captain David a text that we would not be seeing him this morning. I sent Tiffany one that said I would let her know, then I took Will up stairs with our load of laundry. Having a sick child in the middle of the night is never fun. It's even less fun in a hotel! We survived though!
I asked Will about going to see Miss Tiffany. He said he wanted to see her, so we headed to the gym a little late. Tiffany was very easy with Will today, but they still accomplished quite a bit. She and David had moved the stairs to a new location. Now they have one side against the wall and on the other side there is a screen blocking Will's view. She also arranged other pieces of furniture and mats to block the sides, basically anything that would take the heights out of the equation. She let Will crawl up the stairs to get comfortable with them, but that's all they did today.
From there they went to the cage. Will stood and threw a ball for awhile, which is did very well. Then Miss Tiffany tried out something new with him. Introducing the purple horse, whom Will named Galahad. (Mike the Knight anyone!) He was pretty anxious at first but after a minute or two he enjoyed it very much.

He was still wasn't thrilled.
From there he went to the floor. Sitting tall was a bit more of a struggle for him today. He had a hard time staying steady. At least they got some math in there!
They moved on to sitting on the bench. Instead of having Will transition from the floor to the bench, today Miss Tiffany let him sit on the bench and grab a beanbag friend to throw. Will was really zinging these guys today!

All things considered, Will had an excellent day at the gym. Now on to the chamber! Dive 25 went well. I really thought Will might fall asleep this time. He even told me he was tired. I just don't think he can get comfortable in there with that space helmet on. I tried to roll up a towel and put it behind him but it didn't work out the way I pictured. I was afraid it was going to drag on, but the time actually went by rather quickly. After the dive I drove around for awhile until Will fell asleep. I carried him to his bed, but then work him up an hour later. I wasn't about to have a repeat of last night!
