Day 7

No news is good news? Ian had a pretty good night last night. At least there were no catastophies. Today he just wants to sleep. He's been on very little pain medicine sice the surgery, so that's not what is causing it. His oxygen looks fine, and we're getting his meds down. He's been in his wheelchair for the last hour and a half but just sleeping. Hopefully when they get him in the stander this afternoon, he'll become more responsive and maybe eat. None of the nurses seem to be concerned, so we just wait. When the doctor did his rounds this morning, he suggested we probbaly need some more time, so it looks like we'll be here another night. Some meds are going down by mouth and some by tube. It just depends on what the medicine is, how it tastes, and whether we think he'll tolerate it by mouth. Anyway, that's it for now. I will let you know when he comes around.
