First Night Home

Recovery seems to be taking a normal process. He had a good night, although he ran a fever most of the evening it's low-grade this morning. We'll have to watch that. And it took a long time for him to get to sleep, most likely because he slept all day :-) Aside from having to scratch his head (itchiness - a side effect of the medicine) periodically and reposition him, things went well.

David is so thankful to be home. I cannot tell you how many times a day and night he has expressed that to me. I am thankful too to be home and especially for the privilege I've been given of being mom to this special little guy.

Thank you to all of you too for your posts. He's feeling good enough this morning so I'm going to set the laptop on his chest and let him read the blog and all the posts. It will be awhile before he's able to operate his computer as he'll have to be reclined for weeks and head control is a little difficult in that position. We'll be working at it though, so don't be surprised if we don't figure out a way!

  1. David,
    First night home after surgery is always the toughest ... hopefully you will sleep better tonight as you recover.
