Post Surgery Day #1

Night #1, post-surgery, went well. Grayson is mostly sleeping and when he is awake, he tells us he is hungry and thirsty. But all we can give him is to rub a wet sponge on the end of a stick in his mouth. No ice chips, no water, no food. Bummer! So, Bea and I are trying to eat and drink outside his view/room so it does not tempt him more than his body is already doing so.

He is anxious to get out of here and go home, and so are we. We will just take it one day at a time.

Grayson had a fever this morning, and so they gave him some Tylenol, it brought the fever down quite quickly. They also have him breathing into a little device 10 times an hour to keep him from getting pneumonia.

It is fun to watch and be with him. He is constantly asking very probing questions about what the doctors or nurses are doing, and why. He is very accepting of his situation and does not complain. What a blessing. From our room you can hear other children scream or cry on a frequent basis.
