Samuel had a rough time last night. He was having lots of pain so he was just moaning and had a hard time breathing. We finally got the pain regulated better for him so he rested well this morning and now he is back to acting just like his regular self. He really does want to get up and play, but when he wiggles to much he hurts. Plus he has the catheter that has to stay in there for a week (the surgeon said that there would be lots of trouble if it came out - apparently they had to surgically place it in there and if it comes out he would have to go back into surgery to get it replaced) so we need to be super careful with picking him up. Plus, he's not so much wanting to sit on him sore little bum!
Great news is that we are being moved to a new room. Samuel is in the special care unit right now, that is just one step above ICU. Any time now they will be moving us out of special care and into general pediatric. Samuel is doing so well! He is really getting active and keeping me on my toes because he just LOVES pulling on the wires and tubes. He has already removed all of his leads and keeps picking at the tape holding his IV in place. Such a stinker! He will look over to see if I am coming and then he will smile - I'm pretty sure he knows he shouldn't be messing with the tape, but thinks it fun for me to stop him.
David will be spending the night here with Samuel tonight. I am going to work on Thursday & Friday and will come up to the hospital so that we can eat dinner together and visit. Then Friday night I will be back up here to stay so that David can get a good night's rest at home. After that we will see - Samuel is doing so well he may not have to stay past Saturday!

Sorry to hear he's hurting at all, but glad to hear that he's improving. How are you and David doing with all of this?
