Sunday Night - Update #4

Unfortunately, not much has changed from update #3. We are still in ICU and he is still on watch. He is probably borderline right now but they want to be on the safe side. He slept all afternoon, at least he tried. He is in a lot of pain from the effects of the medications on his intestinal area and as the surgeon put it, "His brain is really mad at him for going in there and moving it around so it might take a little while for his brain and his body to connect again and work together." He says he is starting to feel the pain of the staples in his head so they gave him more pain medication. His dinner tonight consisted of spaghetti, broccoli, garlic bread, salad, a cannoli, and apple juice of which he didn't even touch. The nurses let his mom & dad go get him a Jamba Juice with protein powder for him to drink because he hasn't been eating and he needs to get some strength back. He was able to drink that, yay!! He was poked again for more blood at 9:12pm and was not happy at all about it. We are hoping for a better day tomorrow with a room change.
