Jules is doing better.
He ate 3 ounces for me in the early afternoon and then another ounce at 4pm, so that's good. And he is heading for his second dose of the iv motrin.
They want to stop the IV pain meds after that and go to tylenol and oxycodone. We aren't sure he will actually take the oxycodone, but we are going to try and if he spits it out -- we will figure something out.
He took a second nap today, which we hope helps him get better.
His color looks good and he played a bit and took a walk.
We are buckling in for what sounds like it might be a tough night when the IV motrin wears off at midnight and they won't let him have more. We are hoping the rectal tylenol and oral oxycodone can help him enough to keep him sleeping and comfortable until the morning.
I can't begin to say how great it is to be 24 hours past the surgery with no intubation!!! It is awesome!
