Next morning

Bit of a long night. Pain is the biggest issue they are dealing with.  He is doing good and recovering as expected, but hey give him a break, he just had his chest cut open.

The pain meds are making him nauseous and has vomited a couple of times.  Still hasn't eaten anything, just doesn't feel like it.  He is drinking a bit of water and has gotten into a chair this morning.

I tried to sleep here in the ICU in the good ole' three-chair-combo, but my back just couldn't take it.  So I slept upstairs in the Sabroto room next to 3 West between calls from Gage's nurse.  Stacy went to the RMH with Sierra to take her to the activity this morning.

Sierra is off with the young women's group to go river rafting today, should be really fun for her. Lindsey is still with my sister Garrity in Princeton, Oregon, but will be going home with my parents.  She is getting pretty homesick for her parents.  Megan and Hunter are home somewhere doing something.

Might get moved to 3West if things go well. Be really nice to get that chest tube out, but it is still draining quite a bit.

Other than that, the pictures really tell the story.....

My little blond boy is about Gage's age and these pictures are really tearing me up. So glad it went well. Janelle
