I am happy to report that a little more than 48 hours post surgery Declan is doing perfectly. He had two doses of "just in case" motrin because we weren't sure what to expect when the long-lasting local anesthetic wore off, but he has done great. The last one was bedtime on Tuesday. Aside from one fussy moment mid-day tuesday, which I think was more tiredness than pain, you'd never know he had surgery. He is moving and twisting and stretching and still trying to crawl and getting frustrated. But he is happy and healthy and for that we are so grateful. (Warning - image of his healing incision below!)
We are enjoying our week off. The downtime is great to recharge before the new year, and Teagan is enjoying playing with all of her new toys. We have made pancake breakfasts, made cookies, played Play Doh, and a million other things. We are gearing up for guests starting tomorrow when Grandma and Grandpa, and Melissa and Josh arrive.
I also took the opportunity to clean out my closet - which resulted in many bags of clothes dropped off at the donation site. Feels good to start fresh!
Here is what we've been up to the last few days:
This was about 36 hrs after, but it looks the same as when we left the hospital - the glue they used is amazing - looks like second skin when he is wiggling around, and it doesn't seem to bother him a bit. We were told the actual incision underneath is ~2cm. I think after today he can take a bath, and there is no specific post op care which is great
Hi there cutie
New trick - push ups
Trying to pull up on everything
Sooo excited to sit in big sister's chair!
Which she didn't like, so she squeezed in behind him and eventually pushed him out!
