Well Marc had a rough night last night. He seemed to be in a lot of pain and the morphine just didn't seem to help much. He was restless and even tried to get out of bed during the night. He slept for about an hour all night. He got clear liquids for breakfast and lunch today and a soft diet for dinner. He didn't eat much but he was sure glad to get some fluids in besides those in the IVs. His appetite is returning as Steve is on his way to the hospital now with a special order strawberry milkshake for Marc. He was able to sit on the edge of the bed, much to the nurses dismay, as he was still ordered to be on bedrest and was able to stand beside the bed while his bed linens were changed. He wants up more and will pester them until they give in, this I know first hand! He is planning on walking in the hall tomorrow.
I saw his incision for the first time today and realize now why he has been so uncomfortable. The incision is about 9 inches long and crescent shaped extending from in front of his ear lobe to his mid frontal scalp. It is a very impressive incision.
Steve showed up with more than just a strawberry milk shake; he now has much less hair. Brayden helped Steve with a trim tonight and now his head is as bald as a baby's behind! I have included a picture of my two special boys, they are quite a pair.
We are hoping for a quieter and more restful night tonight and a better day tomorrow.
