Day 1

Reed slept most of the day and night thanks to pain meds every 2-3 hrs. Mom and dad slept in shifts 4 hr each :). Doc checked in and said we need to stay in the unit another night since he's still on oxygen. Praying he can tolerate some liquids by mouth today but he has been a trooper. Can't wait for my little man to feel like himself again!

Update:

Today turned out to be a pretty good day.  He's still not drinking anything, but he gave us a big smile when we were able to unhook all the monitors and go downstairs long enough to visit with Elmo.  He even had his picture made with Elmo, what a nice suprise that was!! 

Still taking pain meds but not as often.  Praying tomorrow he can start drinking liquids and work our way into some soft foods in the next couple of days.  48 hours with nothing to eat or drink is making Mama nervous!!!
