Post op day 1...Aid is still brave and trying his best to be patient. I think we all hate him having to be NPO. We have met just about every resident, most of the surgical team, all of the pulmonary team and 90% of the Hematology team. Still don't know most of their names!
Aid didn't sleep well last night, mostly from pain and being checked and bled every 5 seconds! hehe Alright maybe not EVERY 5 seconds. For some dumb reason the residents decided Aid would be just fine useing tylenol or motrin for pain control. Yeeeaaah. After making our thoughts very clear, Aid was set up with a PCA pump early today which has helped a ton.
As is Aidan's usual plan (god only knows why) he dropped his blood count over night and just under half of his platelet count. Along with being swollen, battered and stitched up to within an inch of his life, Aid has achieved a whole new shade of gray this afternoon!
After an ultrasound and an echo the doctor seems confident Aidans shunt is open and doing AWSOME!! For now we are going to watch Aid's counts and hold off on a transfusion. We will hopefully "fingers crossed" rest and get our strength back for tomarrow. We have some sweet pictures to post but will have to wait for daddy to get back with our camera cable! Aid has said he misses all of his friends and family and wants to say thanks for all of your loves and well wishes.
We will post again soon and hoprfully get our pics up tonight sometime.
