Surgery day

Surgery went well, waking up not so much.  They had to put him under twice in the recovery room as an attempt level out his vitals and help his delirium.  "Emergence delirium" = restless or irritable wake up,   Reed always has a horrible time coming out of anesthesia.  Today was the worst yet.  He spent 2.5 hrs in recovery before calming enough to go to the unit.  Around 5 pm he finally woke up enough to empty his bladder.  He is resting well on pain meds now and his oxygen levels are holding steady so the nurse is hoping tomorrow we can move to the floor.
