As the Genie would say in Aladdin.
I wasn't expecting to go home early, nor did I want to.
I just feel so much safer with Liam all wired up.
I know terrible mom.
But really there I can see how he's breathing, his heart rate, and blood pressure.
At home I wake up every hour to make sure he's still breathing.
Or hasn't slid from his "homemade hospital bed"
The Resident Neurosurgeon came in early this morning.
It's a good thing I was already awake. Didn't want some one to tap on my leg once again.
He checked Liam's head and made sure it all looked fine.
"You may go home today because he looks great!"
"Awesome! Thanks! Oh wait what about his CT Scan?"
"Oh right. Let me talk to his Dr and we'll see if we can get you home early because he looks great!"
I slept great last night.
Sure the bed was a bit stiff but it was better than the last week. I was just glad the surgery was over with.
A bit after his Neurosurgeon came in. Checked his head. Said someone had told him we wanted to go home already. I didn't want to but I guess he had things to do because he was talking fast and I barely had time to get a word in. So he said he would be changing his CT Scan to this morning and if it all looked good we'd go home.
Casey, Eliana, and his mom were staying near by so I let Casey know.
Liam must have slept great and had no complications last night because I wasn't awoken with beeping, crying, or nurses. That's good.
I was a little worried since after surgery Liam was having a hard time keeping his food down, or medicine. They weren't sure if it was the oxycodone they gave him so they gave him Tylenol and Motrin.
The nurses were impressed with how he was dealing with pain. He didn't always show he was in pain but I didn't want him crying hysterically to give him pain meds. Probably the worst thing you could choke on.
He kept throwing up and choking on some of his vomit. Flem.
He is one brave little guy.
Casey was on his way when Liam was sent to get his CT Scan.
Again he just impresses everyone around him with how good he is. He just sat still during his CT Scan.
The only thing he did was spit his pacifier out and somehow get it back in his mom. It was funny to just see his tongue stick out to get it.
After some time of waiting the Dr.s came in and gave us the ok to go home.
I didn't expect to come home this early but I am glad everything has turned out better this time.
All we can do now is hope and pray that Liam no longer has to have surgery again.
After coming home we set Liam up his own little hospital bed because we have to keep his head elevated for 2 weeks, until his check up. Which reminds me I need to call his neurologist and make an appointment with him.
Yay for phone calls to Doctors and Therapists!
But before we went home of course we took Eliana to spend sometime playing in the play room. There are pictures of the last time she was there.
