Evening Update
Well today was pretty routine after the trauma of last evening. Caleb looks much better today and his stats are completely stable and calm. The calm stats indicate he is not in pain or excited and stable means his health is good. They started him on intravenous nutrition as his digestion has not "woken" up yet. Apparently surgical anesthetics cause the digestion to stop moving things along for awhile. I read him several books and Ernestine filed his nails. I also started massage on his limbs to help keep things moving in his extremities as the muscle relaxers slow down blood flow and inhibit lymph node function. If I remembered to bring my headset we'll make him a CD of us reading stories for the nurse to play as well as his night night and church music cds.

ReplyDeleteI am so thankful that Caleb is doing well. You all are doing great in supporting Caleb and each other! I am still praying that he has an easy time. Every time I walk past his wall of pictures, I stop and look,and pray for him! Hang tough, keep up the support, and know that you are making a difference with your love and attention to Caleb. It is not forever, even if it seems too long, there is an end in sight and your strength and faith will carry you through.
