Mom + Phone Call, again

trickykittyEldest fell off his bike and is now having to be kept overnight in the hospital for a concussion. The two symptoms Mom told me about were constant throwing up and low oxygen levels, neither of which are a good sign.
I'm trying not to freak out. Dad's staying the night at the hospital while Mom is at home with Little Bit and Pipsqueak, since this is Pipsqueak's weekend to spend with his brothers.
So much for plans to take the boys skating tomorrow.
I'm done with their 3 scarves, so they'll each be getting a gift from me. I'll probably take them out for ice cream if Eldest has been cleared for such, although from the sounds of it he might end up just wanting to sleep a bunch. I also bought these TMNT cookies while grocery shopping the other day, since Pipsqueak is a huge fan.
I'm just trying to think of what else we can do for hanging out now. Most all recommendations for healing from concussion say avoid TV and games and cell phones, given how much the eyes and brain get involved, all three of which Eldest is addicted to. I might recommend he try an audio book, something that will keep his mind occupied, but which will allow him to relax his eyes.
Any suggestions on some good manga I could find in audiobook format?

it will be very hard to find any
Date: 2017-02-11 02:33 pm (UTC)I did find "PDF/Audiobook" but that's like "Those are 2 different things....". There WAS a mention of an MP3 download. I didn't want to sign up for a free trial to see.
The next up is Gundam because the fans base is twice the size of Ranma's and it's basically an ongoing Space-Opera since the 70's.
"Gundam audio books" came up immediately but damn I find Gundam boring. Kevin and Ed and Avery still like it, though. So maybe there's something there.
I really recommend Terry Prachett or even better - the MythAdventures series by Robert Asprin. Those are serial/episodic.
Another Fine Myth is the first one. This recording is kinda crappy. I'm sure there are better - Asprin had a lot of friends and was pretty popular until his death.
