Greyson has had a fairly good day. His pain is well under control and he is taking milk and juice from a bottle. The pain medication is making him a bit itchy and so he is getting some Benadryl which then makes him very sleepy. He is spending most of the time sleeping with shorter active periods where he likes to try and pull on tubes and anything else he probably shouldn't be touching. He has a mobile above the bed that plays music and he has his elephant blanket (thanks Carmen) that he holds on to most of the time. We have even gotten one little smile through the pacifier.
Dr. Jiang has been in two times and thinks that Greyson is doing well but wants to leave him flat in the bed for now so no holding or breastfeeding until tomorrow. He is a bit swollen, especially his right arm, but both plastic surgeons assure us that this is expected and will hopefully go down in the coming days.
We may get to go home tomorrow but Michael and I are not hanging our hats on that. When we do go home, Greyson will still have his drain tubes in until there is no more drainage. Right now the drainage is not near what it was last night and Dr. Jiang is happy with it.
Looking forward to a calm evening. I will try to put another update up this evening but it may not happen until the morning if there is nothing new to report. Thanks to you all...
Brooke
