I actually got a lot of sleep last night. Carolina was only up from 2-3am. Not too bad and I went to sleep at about 9:30 or so.
Bill said they had a great night, but very little sleep. What I mean by great is that he had no events, no VTAC, nothing like that. The doc said he wants to see if we can get Sam off the narcotic (Oxycodone). He has been going for longer stretches without it, but then he'll cough or something and it's back to demanding the meds (me demanding, anyway). The next time the med is due, we'll see about giving him Tylenol and if that doesn't cut it, we'll give him the narcotic too. They would prefer for him not to have narcotics to go home with, but it's likely he will anyway. They'll do another chest x-ray tomorrow to see about his lung. The doc said usually that only lasts for 24 hours, although Sam had his for 48...so we just don't know how that will go.

Bill said Sam finally agreed to wear a diaper, but is still telling him every time he has to pee and is going in a little portable urinal. Stubborn kid. Still hasn't pooped, but he's getting colace every couple of hours.
He was very happy after the doctors left this morning and told Bill that they didn't hurt him at all.

Carolina is a happier camper - she's gotten her eye med this morning, a big breakfast and lots of time with mom.
We're going to try and make it to the atrium playroom in just a few minutes. I need to convince this boy to get up and he just wants to lay there. Oh, they took his bandages off this morning. His side looks swollen and terrible, but the JP tube stitch looks good and the front incision is not swollen at all. Still sad though.
She also said Carolina is doing well, and is happy this morning after having a big breakfast and lots of Mommy-time.
Please keep praying for them as they move forward. Let's pray for a really great day.
