Recovery

Trevor got a room around noon. The cardiac floor was full so he went to the general surgery floor. When we first saw him he was a little groggy but in good spirits. He got to ride in his bed to his room. He thought that was great! He asked for his first of 8 popsicles right away. He had to try every flavor they had :) He watched a lot of movies, ate a lot of popsicles and enjoyed having mommy and daddy all to himself. The first four hours he had to lay completely still. A hard assignment for an active 4 year old! He did pretty good. By 5:00 he was able to get up and he started climbing all over the chairs! He enjoyed eating dinner and snacks in bed, along with candy and popsicles. Around 6:30 we moved to the cardiac floor as they had beds available for us. We had to share a room. It wasn't bad except for at night the little girl next to us her alarms went off all night! And with the beds for parents being uncomfortable we got no sleep at all! The little girl never did talk or cry. Maybe a whimper when they were poking and prodding her. I think she was Allie and Kara's age. Trevor got to take some wheelchair rides which he enjoyed. During the night his blood pressure dropped, but it eventually went back to levels they were satisfied with. We took Trevor to the playroom in the morning. He was bouncing, jumping, running... Very excited... all the things he can't do for a month. This will be a very long month! We had to have the nurse explain to him that he has to take it easy so his heart can heal. It looked like the poor little guy was going to cry. He doesn't understand, especially since he feels so good! He did ask last night when the sleepy Dr. was going to come back in so he could go to sleep again! I'm sure I'm missing something and after I get some sleep and I remember it, I will post it for you all to read :) Thank you so much for all the prayers and gifts for Trevor.
