Day 2

It's approaching 1 and Brady is resting. He has really struggled with actually sleeping for any length of time even with all the meds in him. He ate shrimp, fries and drank a smoothie for breakfast. The nice thing about Primarys is that the patient can order any food any time of the day and the kitchen staff deliver it to his room. The child life specialist brought some Lego kits for him to build. He did attempt one with his one partially available hand, but he grew tired before finishing. Even though he was exhausted he couldn't quite fall asleep. So I pulled out the lavender and he's been resting since 11. So glad he's getting rest. 

The doctors were pleased with his progress, but we were reminded that he underwent an extensive and long surgery yesterday and he is still fragile. They plan on keeping him in the ICU till at least tomorrow morning. They had him sit up this morning and plan to help him sit in a chair this afternoon. We are grateful for where he is at, but still see the huge hill he still needs to climb.
