Day 3- Goodbye PICU


Keegan had a very restful day today. He woke up with his right eye swollen shut and a few hours later the left one joined in. He is very swollen but resting peacefully, so that is good.

We limited visitors to the grandparents today so that he could get a good days rest. PJ's parents came in the morning and my parents spent the evening with us.

They moved Keegan out of ICU and into a regular room. We now have a roommate in a VERY small room. They are going on their 8th week here due to an autoimmune disease , so we have NO ROOM to complain about our stay in the hospital so far.

Keegan didnt want to eat or drink much today. Nurses and doctors said his activity (wanting to sleep all day) and swelling is very typical for a 1 yr old with this type of procedure. It just breaks our hearts seeing our normally very active, smiley boy swollen and sleeping all day.

They just gave him an IV to play it safe and get him hydrated . Figured it would also help me from trying to force him to drink pedialyte all night. This way he can rest more and stay hydrated.
