Journey to Recovery a Spinal Fusion story.. Day 3

Wednesday, December 4, 2012.  Daniel had a better day today than yesterday.  Still in pain, and having spasms but pain management came and made sure he had a great regimen of pain medicines.

It was par for the course in the PICU pretty much.  The entourage of nurses, residents, attendings, janitors, respiratory people, physical therapy, patient life, care coordinators etc etc etc.

I'm pretty exhausted at this moment of writing.  I was thrilled when Marques came again, with his wife to see Daniel.  Daniel was pretty agitated but he had his eyes open and was playing with the Balloon I bought him.  As promised, when he opened his eyes for me.

It was a rough night of agitation and pain, mixed with deep periods of sleep.  Breathing is going well, respiratory system is miraculously adjusting.
