Day 2 post op lunchtime update
Still trying to effectively manage M's pain. They continued to give him Morphine because after adding the atavan he seemed to settle but he keeps itching his face and is now developing a lot of upper airway congestion which can be caused by morphine. So they are now officially stopping it and putting him on dilauded - another opiate so I hope he doesn't react to it too. Do far the Benadryl seems to help him just as much as the big hitter narcotics but wears off after a few hours. Parts of his left lung have collapsed which would be helped a lot if we could hold him and pat his back - bounce him and his pain was controlled enough so he could really cough. It hurts him too much now so he's keeping all the junk in his lungs. Still has the lines into his heart and his chest tube so none of the above is allowed.maybe tomorrow.

Poor M. He is trying so hard. Poor little guy is doing the best that he can right now. I know how hard it is. I couldn't hold Marcus for 3 days post op because he was still incubated. It sucks so bad. I know you can do it mama and dada. Stay strong! Lots of prayers from Marcus and the Riddle's!
