More news
Today mum me and dad went to the hospital early in the morning. my brother was trying to eat his breakfast but was in to much pain so I helped him. It turns out that he is allergic to Morphine and had a bad reaction to it. This morning his knee was in soooo much pain because the leg cast had been very tightly wrapped around his knee. My brother hardly EVER cries, but it was so tight he started to cry a bit. The pain in his face was very unpleasant to see. He ended up going for another X-ray and after a few hours the plaster guy came in and took part of the plaster (fibreglass) of his knee. He has a whole leg in plaster. After that part was taken off he was much better but none of the painkillers were strong enough to kill the pain. (even remotely) I forgot to tell you that when they had nearly finished the x-rays Samuel seized up and couldn't move and trouble breathing. They raced down him back to his room and helped him to breath again and his hands eventually stopped seizing. A few hours after the plaster had been taken away, he looked so much better but his leg and his foot were still twice the size of his other leg. (from swelling)
when he was better mum and dad and I went out for half an hour to get something to eat. When we came back we gave him a seafood thing from Subway that he asked for. (he loves them) He ate only a little bit because he's feeling so sick from the pain and the medication. Anyway we ended up borrowing telly and a game cube from the hospital for him to play. It kept him occupied. (before the gamecube, dad went home to get som rest while mum and I stayed with him) At five thirty dad turned up to stay with him while mum and I go home and get some sleep.
last night the operation was a success but he did end up getting a little bit of hives. He is much better now but still in pain. Thankyou for praying for him. I will keep you updated. He will have to stay in hospital for a couple more days, but hopefully he can come home on Wednesday or Thursday. He will have a leg cast on for ten weeks. The first five weeks he will have the whole leg cast but the last five weeks he will have a half leg cast. (the doctor says that he will not be able to walk for the next ten weeks. (his cast will come off the day before we move)
write soon,

P.S. the hospital serves food for the whole family. It doesn't taste that bad, and is all very healthy.

That sounds so terrible about what happen to him in the hospital. The last few years we have had many hopspital runs in this family. My bother had to go in and had a very tuff time espeically sense he was allergic to one of the medications too.
I will still pray for you.
