Here he is!
After a great night of sleep (Sam only woke up a few times, mostly when the nurses were in there giving him medicine or checking his vitals; but he did wake up on his own twice. Once, he was looking for his binky, and the other time he couldn't see Dad due to a pillow blocking his view) Sam woke up and ate a few bites of hash browns.
Two members of the surgical team showed up to remove his bandages and the his "fluid drain line thingy".
We all were pretty anxious as I'm sure can imagine. After they got the bandages off, they noticed that he had a ton of fluid over his right eye so they sort of "milked" it towards his drain hole. Sam was not a fan of this process and was immediately given both Tylenol with Codeine as well as an I-V narcotic pain killer.
But he is now the proud owner of a "normal" shaped head.
Sam spent the majority of the rest of this morning and afternoon zoning in and out of sleep.
As soon as I got home to write this, Kelli called to let me know that he was now wearing some jammies and is in the playroom located on our floor! How cool is that?
I've posted all the photos from today on my Facebook account.
Looks like we're headed home tomorrow, so we might not be able to post anything new until then.
Until next time,
Peace.

He is amazing. And perfect. And badass. And a genius. And awe-inspiring. But, yeah, he was all that before the surgery. His Superman-like recovery only proves it once again.
ReplyDeleteYou people amaze me.
Praise God! We are so glad to hear that little Sam is doing well. I'm sure you gave a collective sigh of relief when it was over and the bandages were removed. God bless you all!
