Good morning! Drake had a fairly calm first night. A few minor issues with blood pressure and heart rate that were taken care of with small amounts of medication. Drake spent much of the day Tuesday dozing in and out. Sleeping very peaceful much of the time. At 5:00 am he woke up say, "I'm hungry!" and "When do I get out of here!" We figured that was a good sign!
As of 10:20 am we are still in ICU. Vital signs are stable and most of the IV lines are removed. He is on very little medication. He does have some swelling on the left side of his face and around his left eye. We figured that was to be excepted for all the movement of blood vessels and tissue during the surgery. Drake ate a hardy breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs and some melon around 9:30 am. He is now taking a little nap. We are hoping to be in a standard room later today.
The care here at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital has been excellent. The nurses and doctors are very attentive to Drake and his comfort. We are very pleased with the progress.
Thank you for your many thoughts and prayers. God has truly listened to the uplifting of Drake and his special needs. We have been truly BLESSED with wonderful doctors , nurses and sincere care since we have been here at Stanford.
We will update the blog and Caring Bridge when Drake is moved to the standard room later on today.
Love & Blessings, Bev
