We're home

Last night went mostly fine. Sammy threw up a little after dinner, and a bunch right after he had his meds. Great timing, Sam. He was just so upset after the nurses changed shifts and he got a new nurse, and was crying and in pain, and he hated the blood pressure cuff squeezing his leg... so he barfed. Then I asked the nurse to give him the IV morphine, and that knocked him right out kept him very comfortable.

We came home today right around lunchtime.

Sammy is doing well. We are keeping him on the pain meds for now and he doesn't have any pain while he is on the meds. He doesn't need his no-nos all the time (hallelujah!), but we are making him wear them to sleep and to ride in the car. This makes him very grumpy and ticked at us. He is not happy with his diet, but we are finding things he will eat and drink. He is really happy to be home, and to pick on play with his big brothers.

I did not have a deep morphine-induced sleep last night, so today I am very tired. That's all I gots for you today.

Nighty-night.

Peace, out,
(((hugs))),

  1. Hi Chris! I just caught up with things. I'm sorry David wasn't able to have his surgery as you had hoped (and REALLY sorry you didn't know this until after he had to starve for hours!). I'm glad Samuel's surgery went well and that he's on the road to recovery. Two recovery days down, a few more to go!

    I'm thinking of you all, and keeping you in my prayers! Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything!
