The surgeon came out to talk with us just before 6:00pm. He said he is really happy with the results. He also said "the dangerous scary part is done, but I'm not saying the hard part is done." We got to see Kevin shortly after and it was rough. The look in his eyes was heartbreaking. He was agitated, moaning, and grabbing. I thought we might have to restrain his right arm. He received pain medication on top of the epidural and he was still very agitated. After a couple hours, we gave him some applesauce that he seemed to calm down. He wanted more so I gave him some chicken with stock, coconut oil, avocado and some sweet potatoes. He gobbled it up and even started feeding himself. After that he started making some content sounds..which made this mama (and the rest of the family) take a big sigh of relief.
My Mom and I are having a sleep over with Kevin. He is resting and was finally able to close his eyes after 10pm. He's getting some sleep (and snoring on his back) between nurse checks. To keep the swelling down, his legs are elevated and icing the incision. He is also getting Valium to help with leg spasms.
Start guessing what color Kevin chose for his casts. I'll try to add pictures next post.
Prayer of Thankfulness for keeping Kevin safe during surgery and continued prayers for Kevin's healing and to find comfort.
