Everett smiled at me for the first time since the surgery. When he was with Nana, Pa, and Memaw, he even laughed out loud. It's so great to be able to hold him and I know it is making him feel better. He's been more alert when awake and resting better when he is asleep.He's drinking good and he's eaten a couple of crackers and some yogurt. His calcium levels are still a little low, so they are going to give him some calcium by mouth. He's still on a lot of pain medication, but they've taken him off morphine.
We were disappointed he's not getting out of the ICU today, but he'll most likely get to tomorrow. Alisha and I are going to try and get some rest tonight and Nana is going to stay with him. Last night was so tough, we're both pretty worn out. Just the two of us got to get out the hospital and eat tonight. It was hard and we felt a little guilty being away from him, but I think we are both a little rejuvenated.
