Monday Monday

So we're back into the bustle of the working week and more staff on the ward than on the weekends - Monday mornings are busy! Oscar had a good night and behaved well for his nurse. We too had a good nights sleep and feel a little more human today.
We are still in HDU as Oscar is still on quite a bit of morphine due to pain when peeing so bit of a hold up but hopefully they'll get to the bottom of that problem today... no further mention of it being a hernia so that's good. Otherwise he appears more relaxed and happier than he has. No problems heart wise so we no complain!


Oscar woke up this morning just before his eight o'clock feed. Though not his classic 'smiley and chatty' self, he seemed very much himself - very calm and happy to just look around at things and not the kind of clouded over Oscar we have been a bit worried about all weekend. He still obviously has a sore and cloggy throat from the surgery breathing tube (which was taken out shortly after the operation) and the feeding tube, so the chatting tends to come out as gurgling anyway. But he had a really good scream after breakfast, and in typical fashion all the medical faces poked their heads in and said it was good for him!... which is good, because there wasn't anything we could to stop him. Eventually he slipped back into a morphine stare and then sleep... but much less morphine now of course, and much more peaceful recuperative sleep. 


Some more wires coming out of/off our son before next feed at 11am so we better get back.
Happy Monday folks.
