Sam had a decent night. He has started to wake up more frequently since about 6am this morning, but was still falling asleep within about a minute.
However, he's been awake for about 20 minutes now and has requested a little TV. Of course, nothing suits what he wants to watch, but there's no DVD player in here so he can't watch his ol' standbys.
A very small part of his lung is collapsed, so it seems that he got a lot of big breaths in overnight. He also had a couple sips of water (laced with orange juice) this morning. Once he drinks more, they'll get him on some food and then when he has eaten some they'll likely move him to the CICU (cardiac intensive care unit). He also asked to sit up this morning, so (without moving him), we adjusted his bed to a sitting-up position. He's in a tiny little ball now and still hasn't wanted to move. He will need to get moving today in order to help his lung - so they may have to turn down some portion of his epidural in order to meet that goal.
I haven't heard anything from Bill and Carolina. I assume they'll be here mid-morning.
