Day 2 post surgery

Jax is resting comfortably after a good day. He has a "brain drain" which alleviates any pressure from the surgery, the doc said this could be in for 5-7 days. They increased his pain meds last night which seems to be a nice relief for him. His sweet little face started swelling more today especially around the left eye and cheek. Doc said this is to be expected and will more than likely get worse before it gets better. Jax's face is itchy today so that has been bothersome for him. He will get a burst of energy but then require a decent amount of rest. I was able to hold him today while he napped, what a wonderful feeling!

We were able to get him in a wheelchair for a few minutes at a time. He enjoyed getting out of the room and checking out the rest of the 6th flr.



He also drew on a chalkboard, read books and played a TON of football. :) Tomorrow he will start getting evaluated by PT, OT and Speech. I tell you what he is moving Bob a.k.a righty a lot!!

Lucky Dad was able to get a few kisses!


THANK YOU so much to our friends and family who have been so incredible. The wonderful meals to keep our energy level up, great laughs, support and all the love. You guys are awesome!


I'm going to try and catch some zzz's. Will update more tomorrow.
