It was a long miserable night with Jules waking up every hour in pain. He had three morphine treatments to help stop his crying and suffering and give him some comfort. He has refused most bottles, taking a total of 1-2 ounces over the past twelve hours. This makes staying on top of the pain very difficult. He spits out all tylenol and oxycodone.
They can't do tylenol through the iv as it doesn't absorb that way in the body. He can't have motrin or anything else because it increases bleeding which is risky after his surgery.
This morning, our brilliant nurse thought of the idea to give him -- Rectal tylenol!!!!
We tried it and are waiting to see how he does.
Hoping to be sent to the surgical floor and hoping to see him start to eat soon.
Just got permission to get him out of the surgical gown and into more comfortable clothes from home.
