Post Op - Day 1

Well, last night went ok. Had to end up giving him morphine last night at 9pm as he was really fussy. But after that, but Cman and I got a good 5 hours of sleep. Of course, the nurses were coming in every 3 hours to check vitals, give pain meds, etc. I think I slept through 2 of those checks. :)

Dr. Jimenez came by and saw him. He said he was doing well. We told him he's been a little cranky. Of course, Dr. smarty pants says - "Well, he DID get a piece of bone removed from his head today. You'd be fussy too!". :). OK, good point.

This morning, there's a bit more swelling, but they said that is expected, since he slept on that side last night. One of his eyes is almost swollen shut, but he's been in good spirits today. We should be outta here by this afternoon or so.. Really looking forward to that! I'm just ready to be home!

Also, changing the name of the blog to "Craney Days", as this is what the PICU nurses call the day that the cranectomies are done at this hospital, as all the "craney" babies are keeping them on their toes. :)
This is how he looked first thing in the morning. A little swollen.
Mamu finally got to hold him. He's in good spirits today.
Loving my daddy.
