So, we didn't make it to a regular room last night after all :( We finally got back to see Greyson in recovery around 10:30 or 11:00pm and he was having some problems getting enough oxygen, he had a deep and raspy cough, and they were trying to get his pain evened out. He was VERY puffy from all of the fluids they had to give him and they also wanting to keep an eye on that.
Around 1am the Anesthesiologist made the call that he would have to go ahead and move to the PICU for the night so that he could get one on one care. We got him settled in and asleep by 2:30am and then got some sleep ourselves.
All of the doctors came in this morning and decided he is good to go to a regular floor room so now we are just waiting for a room to open. It is a busy place so we may be waiting a while. In the mean time he is drinking lots of juice and has eaten a little. He watched a little TV and has snuggled with us a bit.
Today I have taken advantage of The Blue Jackets Room (like the Ronald McDonald House Room in Children's Mercy in KC). This family hospitality room has a library/computer lab, sitting room with TV, kitchen, laundry, showers, treadmill, and complimentary chair massages. I headed down while Greyson was sleeping this morning and ran a bit, showered, and even signed up for a 15 minute massage (which was heaven). After all that sitting yesterday all three were great. Michael is going to get his massage tomorrow but I doubt he takes advantage of the treadmill ;)
As always thanks to all of you. And to Mrs. Irwin's class...I gave Greyson your message and he is on the mend.
