I called the hospital this morning at 9:15am and they had already moved him to regular room, so when I was transferred to the new nurse, she didn't know anything, hadn't even been in the room yet. Kai had just been moved, so I had her transfer me back to the CICU so I could talk to Barbara, his CICU nurse. She said Kai had a rough night. Didn't sleep much. Threw up once. They had given him an Oxycodone last night orally. It has Percacet and Tylenol in it. (I can't take Percacet, makes me sick to my stomache). He didn't really have to much in his stomache. I got him to drink some chicken broth, eat 4 or 5 bites of jello and drink some water.
We got to the hospital about 12:30 today. They have taken out his catheter and his central line. Still has his chest drain tube in. He said the move this morning was pretty tiring. He is sleeping now, gearing up for the Bears game tonight. Kai, his dad, and his grandpa are going to watch it together tonight. He is too long for the beds here. It's ok as long as the bed is flat, but when you elevate the head, the area that it starts to bed is too far toward the bottom and he slides down, then that makes his legs go further down and the soles of his feet are pushing against the footboard of the bed. It is a nice room though. It has a nice size window couch that looks like it would be much more comfortable than a chair to sleep in.
His dad stayed w/ him from about 2:30-10 this morning, then his grandparents came over. He says his pain is staying at a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10 when he is awake. I just asked when he is eligible to have some more pain med. And he took another Oxycodone.
I uploaded some photos and the video today. Go up to the top right side of the page under "Links to Other Sites". I have labeled the graphic photos (inside of the body). If you don't want to see anything graphic (then don't look at them.
