Today, Ayden had his stoma surgically closed. It was almost closed, but for some reason when you use it to make farting noises, it stays open. Surgery went well according to Ayden's Dr, although waking up from surgery he was one pissed off kid. Even though he could barely hold his head up, he was determined to get down off of mom or dad's lap and run around the recovery unit. Of course, he was a hit w/ the nurses, espcially when they started giving him stickers and he would say "thank you"and give them a BIG Ayden smile.
Tonight has been rough, they haven't unhooked him from his IV, but he has left it in, so that is 1/2 the battle. There haven't been enough Elmo videos in the world to keep him relaxed. He is either in some pain or his body doesn't like tylenol w/ codine. We aren't in the PICU (pediatric ICU) like we normally are, so unfortunately, no one knows us or him and we don't know anyone either.
Sorry it's so late updating, I couldn't get the computer to work. Chris and Ayden are probably falling asleep together and I walked down the hall to the lounge.
Thanks for checking in w/ us.
