So, Cameron certainly feels more normal now. Still pretty sore for the surgerical sites, but overall feels back to normal from a personality standpoint. He (and I) slept as well as he could considering he was being woken every hour or so. Woke around 6 to take medications and has been up since.
Neurosurgeon came to check on him and said things were looking fine. I think we’ll have one more CT this morning to confirm no bleeding before he can moved up to the Pediatric Monitoring Unit (PEMU) where he’ll spend the rest of the stay.
He was able to use the bathroom this morning, so he had the fun of peeing in the bed (we got to use the capture thing, but still, he was in bed and peed). Bear with the humor… I get some license here.
Rest of the morning shift of docs and nurse have been checking in. He still ha a pretty consistent level of pain that his pain medication hasn’t been controlling well. Everyone is making is clear they are trying to balance safety concerns and the level of medication, which I understand. Cam has breakfast coming soon, so hopefully that will help.
We’ll sit patiently while we wait for the day to progress and get him upstairs to PEMU.
