It's about 10am, and the boys are awake and happy enough finally to color with crayons in their coloring books. Praise God!
Last night was sort of long. Jason ended up spending the night. There would have been no other way to be happy and restful last night without both of us here. Jason slept in bed with Samuel, and I slept in bed with David. The rooms here are set up for one patient, so our two adult-size beds and two IV poles and extra monitor pole and two tray tables is quite cozy :o)
Samuel slept pretty well. He is not a fan of the nurses and doctors, so when they come around he gets upset. We are keeping him on his pain meds even if he's not grumpy, just to keep ahead of the pain. He's not drinking much this morning, so it's too early to tell if he can go home today. He is still spunky little Sammy.
David slept not as well last night. Until about 1:30am, he kept waking up about every 20 minutes or so. He seemed afraid and anxious, but would calm quickly after I reassured him that I was still there. We think he has memories of his first surgery over in China, and we have no idea how that experience was. After 1:30am, David and I got longer blocks of sleep and we were even able to stretch out time between his pain meds. This morning he ate a full bowl of Cream of Wheat and is slowly drinking apple juice. It is possible that David can be released today. He already asked me for a few kisses this morning. Still sweet little David.
