We got a great report from Landon's night nurse, who we had 2 nights in a row and was amazing. She said he did well all night and remained very stable. The only thing they are kind of worried about at this point is his stomach. It has been a little swollen since surgery and Landon is showing signs that it is tender. They have done several x rays and it looks like his intestines is a little inflamed on one side. They have been giving him an antibiotic as a precaution and they said that since feeding by mouth could worsen the problem they won't do that for 7 days. They'll continue to watch it by x ray and hopefully between time and the meds it will heal up ok.
It has been auch an encouragement to see him so much more comfortable. He's had his eyes wide open for a while this morning and while he still looks a little confused, he's not looking like he's in pain or discomfort like he was yesterday
So good report overall, this intestines thing could delay his discharge since they'll want him eating well before he leaves but that's ok. We're just glad to finally see him steady and comfortable!
So glad to hear things are looking better. I know you want to hold him and ease all his pain.
