Hand sanitizer, anyone? I think we're making a compulsive little boy :) It makes me laugh, though, everytime. This was the night before surgery in our little hotel room.
They've got soft little elbow straighteners on, so he can grab any number of things he shouldn't have. The surgeon gave us a call and said he'd come by in the morning (thank you!) and that we should get the pressure dressings changed then. The drainage has slowed considerably, but that's always subject to change. When I asked about when we were getting out of here he gave a little chuckle. He knows how antsy I am. Unfortuately it's one of those things you don't know til you know. The drainage needs to slow to a minumum and everything needs to look good underneath the dressings. We also found out he can't get the stitches out til a week after surgery. I think we'll just end up staying down here til then. Not a lot of sense hauling him in this state back to Indiana Tuesday (or so) to bring him back Thursday. We'll see. He can get morphine every hour, but he only seems to need it every 3-4 hours, which is good.
Micah's a tough little cookie, and he's starting to win over the nurses, even while he's not fully awake yet!
Loved the sanitzer video. Hope he's not going to turn into a germ-phobe :) Poor baby! The elbow things do not look comfortable.
