2nd showing of BOLT to start any minute...

June 2 2009 pudgy cheeks and all with a smileSkyler this morning after breakfast, hes a bit puffier and shiny on the right side. Hopefully it will go down by this evening looks very soar.
It's nearly 10am and we are on the 2nd time around for Skyler's all time fav movie...BOLT, ya gotta see it! The hamster and pigeons make the dumb movie worth watching ;)
Skyler had a good night. My only complain/concern was the nurse we had lack of pain managment. She was very conservative on the pain meds. Skyler just had another major oral surgery and all she felt comfortable giving him was Tylenol! Yes he hadn't eaten but we could have tried to give him something with the other pain med, and the other option for pain was morphine, probably over kill but she also didn't see the need because he wasn't on the pain scale between 8 - 10 which would be crying and thrashing, So all night long he wouldn't swallow his saliva because he hurt. We fixed it this am. He's comfortable and even has had some food in his tummy. They are getting ready to do this mouth rinse with him...I am kinda giggling, "good luck with that" (The resident last night also wanted Skyler to wear these boot like thingys on his feet so he wouldn't get blood clots...???...) I told them go ahead but warned them he kicks pretty hard...they dc'd the order shortly after that.

I was hoping he would be feeling better today, I was hoping that it wasn't as invasive as a few weeks ago, but so far, he's acting the same way, if not a bit grumpier. So today is a day of rest, and movie watching, and book reading for mom.

I ran into a friend of ours who's son is Skyler's age, they are hear for a surgery last week and are hoping to go home tomorrow. Please if you have a chance say a small prayer for speedy recovery for our buddy Jadon, he's a pretty special friend to Skyler.

Talk to you all later. Thanks for all the loves.

  1. I love, just *love* your posts! I can totally relate to the sarcasm in your words and it makes me grin! I especially enjoyed "he kicks pretty hard...they dc'd the order shortly after that". Priceless!
    Way to be a great advocate for your boy. You should be proud of yourself to stand up for him in this scary, crazy, hectic medical world we've been thrust into!
