Day 2 of Recovery - Sunday

Oliver is still doing great. They removed all his IV's yesterday and he's off all pain medication. The doctors are now watching his head circumference to monitor the ventricles in his brain. If they grow he'll need a shunt put in to help his brain drain properly. He's peeing and pooping on his own... Which is a big deal considering where his lesion on his back was. Doctors have also seen some movement in his upper legs but nothing from the lowers yet.

Oliver pulled his feeding tube out by himself. They had put a feeding tube in so he could eat right after surgery and until he was drinking from a bottle on his own. He was done with it I guess.

Oliver got irritable in the afternoon and evening. His meds from the surgery/IV were wearing off. It’s hard to settle him down when you can’t hold him. So we stay by his side and rub his back and legs, as thats all we can do right now.

Oliver finally got to have some really food. He seems to really enjoy he's food.

Lacey loves her little Oliver and the time she was able to spend with him this weekend. It was hard to let her go, I miss her a tone.
