Long Update

Since we have moved into the older part of the hospital, e do not have Internet access, so I will update as possible.

Saturday :
We moved into a room about noon on Saturday. That afternoon, the Morphine starting getting to his - he was having a few trips. He was restless, hot , and itchy. All are from the morphine. He took his last dose of morphine at 4. Great sign to show how he is improving. I will leave out lots of the funny hallucinations as to not embarrass him. He can share those later if he would like.

He took an ambian to help him sleep last night. At 2 this morning, the sleep medicine made him do nearly the same. He did not know where he was or what was happening. I guess he just does not have good luck with medicines. About 6 am he really started coming out of it all and doing well.

Sunday:
Dr. Morvant came check on him. He was doing wonderful. He decided to send him back down to surgery to close up some more wounds. When I say he is going great, it is in comparison with the other days. Daniel is still hurting a lot. This is the reason they decided to give him anaesthesia to close these wounds.

He is off oxygen now. He only receives the IV for antibiotics and fluid as needed, such as for surgery this morning). He did say that he is still not out of the woods. He continues to have a high risk of clotting, so we must be careful.

Dr. Donepudi also came in and said that his lungs are doing great - really clearing up.

He is still hurting and a little uncomfortable today. We were going to bring the boys to see him, but decided against it until a little later.

NOW FOR THE FUN PART:

My Saturday night was full of excitement as Alex got hives all over his face Saturday afternoon. When Benadryl did not help, Mom and dad called to say they had to bring him to ER. Sorry no pictures cause of the circumstances (no camera). He was put on a steroid for 3 days and is now doing great. Luckily, Daniel's parents were with us in the room at the time, so I could easily leave to take care of Alex.

AND FINALLY:
Thanks for all of who who have contacted us about donating blood. I cannot get over the family and friends who have contacted their families to help out. The support is more than we could have ever imagined!!!

Thanks for all the flowers, cards, prayers, and help! We cannot express how much it means to us.
We love you all.
