Day 2

Last night I got a decent amount (a few hours) of sleep at the hospital, although I am sure adrenaline played a major role in my functionality.

Keegan seemed to be in quite a bit more pain this morning and had a few rough times. His platelette count was low so they took him to get a CT scan to make sure there wasnt any bleeding. It was really hard seeing them move him out of the crib bed to the CT table. He was in quite some pain when they did this! The CT came back looking good and his platelettes went up on their own when they checked his labwork at 4pm.

They stopped the morphine this morning and moved onto tylenol for pain management. After the second tylenol dose with the codeine addition, Keegan woke up smiling and babbling away. Our boy was back! Next thing you know he is drinking milk, eating chicken nuggets, sitting up and even standing up! On the down side, he is trying to pull the IV cords out and is very curious now as to what everything is. I was able to hold him which was such a relief to me since it has been since I left him back in the operating room.

He had a few visitors today, all the grandparents, his great Aunt Barbie and great Aunt Kath, Aunt Shannon and Uncle Ben, my cousin Heath and his wife Erin and his Aunt Tammi and Uncle Bronson. He was so excited to see everyone he didnt want to lay down and insisted on sitting up and drinking his milk on his own.

Unfortunately, we had to kick the visitors out shortly after they got here because he was refusing to rest and being Mr. Social! I wonder where he gets that from?

Once he fell asleep, PJ watched him while I napped on the hospital couch in Keegans room. Then, Keegan woke up and PJ headed to his parents to get some shut eye and plans on coming back in the early morning.
