Post-surgery (Jake)


We're in the pediatric ICU - room 10-458T, phone 352-265-1004. He's groggy from the surgery, the anesthesia, and everything else, and he's floating in and out of awake.

He really wants water, but all he gets for now is an ice chip (singular) ever 15 minutes. He's got a bunch of IV tubs in him, but he's not intubated, and generally looks a lot better than when he was in the ICU 2 years ago.
They did an ultrasound in the room, so I saw the incision. It's almost a foot long, which is enormous on a little guy.

Momma is somewhere on the 9th floor, but I haven't been down there yet. All the grandparents are down there, because visitation is less restrictive than in the PICU.
