Day 2 of recovery (Sat 6/16)

Tommy spent all day in mama's arms. He is off the ventilator, chest drainage tube is gone, heart pacing wires adios, central line gone (geez that was a long needle), most of the monitors for vitals are gone too. Tommy is pretty miserable and still on pain relief. His eyes are closed most of the time. I did give him a bath and he seemed to stop crying for that.

The Hirschprung's disease (and pain relief) is causing his intestines to slow down significantly. An abdominal xray has been ordered to see exactly what is filling his belly.

Tommy is still in ICU. Maybe today or tomorrow we will be transferred to the floor. Tommy needs prayers for comfort!
