It's been about an hour and half and Tyler is finally resting comfortably. He isn't whining or restless and he's been able to sleep without being poked, pricked, or prodded. Poor thing. He pooped earlier and they decreased his sodium intake. That has seemed take some of irritability away.
We have just gone for showers at David's House and working on going out to grab a bite to eat. We just had a consult with the Pediatric resident. Tyler was looking rather vacant. We decided that it is most likely a side-effect of the Morphine. He is also starting to eat more, just polished off a 50cc bottle(1.75 Oz). There is almost no chance of getting out of here tomorrow morning as we had planned, but if he keeps on this way we'll be talking discharge in no time.
He's slowly coming around to be more his normal self. It take a while for small babies to recover sometimes. I had to stop writing this an hour ago and since then he's eaten another 30 cc and watched me for a few minutes. He's once again laying in his crib so Ben and I are hoping to get out for an hour to eat something other than hospital food. I swear this place would be shut down if the food inspectors came for lack of edible matter.

Happy to hear that Tyler (and Mom and Dad) seem to have made it through the surgery! Sometimes the recovery can be harder than the actual surgery. Tyler is a trooper and will be on his "feet" in no time!!!
Thinking of you all and keeping everyone in our prayers :-)
Warmly,
Cassandra
