Caiden seemed to have a very good Dr. last night after shift change. She actually read his history before she talked to Jennifer and Chris.Caiden is still getting morphine and they are going to keep him in ICU again tonight. His blood count is a little low and continues to go down a little steadily so they are giving him a transfusion now. It is not uncommon after surgery for him to be a little anemic, and he is. That is why his blood count is low. They used the blood that his daddy donated during surgery so they are having to use someone else's today.
They removed his catheter and an IV in his arm this morning. They unwapped his feet, but he still has the IV's in his feet and groin. He isn't much more swollen or purple today. Where he was flaming red yesterday he is white today. His nose seems to be itchy and that may be from the Morphine, but his eye is also infected which could causing itching, and has spread to the other eye. An Ophthalmologist will see him today. They are suppose to give him some Benadryl for itching.
Caiden surprised us and opened his eyes through little slits to look around to see us! It was a thrill.
