Post Op day #2

Brody had a somewhat peaceful night... Seth slept with him in bed... And all was ok. Today was a big day... Up and walking two different times and even took trip to the play room, which he was not interested in at all. He looks good.. But feels awful.. No smiles and just blah. He has had 3 different ivs go bad and he is not an easy baby to start ivs on. He does not have a central line ( iv line that goes straight to heart) trying to avoid if at all possible. Very invasive and his surgeon does not like to place central lines unless absolutely necessary. We are at that point... He isn't eating or drinking so we have to keep him hydrated and he has to have a line for his meds... So poor guy:( he did get another IV thanks to a very special Iv team... They didn't want to start one due to all his swelling but his nurse pushed and we got it... Hoping it lasts overnight otherwise he will have to have a central line. He did get his arterial line out( line in his artery)  which is an exact measurement of pressures... So that part was good. Pressures are good Trying to get him to drink and keep it down... But like clockwork he drinks and vomits ... Now he has an ileus another fancy term for his intestines not moving... Common after so much anesthesia... Working on getting his belly to work. So much more to explain but that's the just of today... Hoping for an in eventful night. Pacing wires are atill in his heart and sticking out of his belly... Just in case they need to pace his heart to get back into a normal rhytm ( shock his heart) he does have JET which is junctional ectopic tachardia..... Somewhat of a norm after this surgery.. Hoping it resolves itself in its own.... If not anti arrithima medications will help control it. Enough for today! Love to all... Hug the ones you love!! Can't wait for our Girl to arrive on Sunday!
