Alex is doing fine. His swelling has gone down a bunch, but he still has a bump where his encephalocele was. It doesn't look a lot different yet. He has been rubbing his eyes and forehead lately, and I am sure it is starting to itch like crazy. He is on a fluid restriction and it makes him very irritable that he can't drink however much he wants.
I slept for a long time last night, but still feel tired. Hospitals do that to me after a while! My mom left for home yesterday and I miss having company. I've been watching tv, and thankfully I brought my laptop with me this trip so I can check emails and surf the web!
Thanks for praying for Alex.
After my daughter had her cleft lip repaired both eyes were black and she looked like she'd been hit by a truck! It took a few days for all the swelling to go down and the bruising to go away.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pictures of his sweet little face in a few days.
