Today is post-op day 1. We are still in the CVICU and expect to transfer to the floor tomorrow. Lots of tubes and drains to be managed so best to stay put for now. Overall Shawn is doing very well. Pain is under control and very little nausea. Just lots and lots of snoozing. Makes for a pretty boring visit for myself.
We left Shawn for a few hours to get some food and met up with some of Mom’s cousins for lunch. It was nice for Mom to catch up, and now we have some family to visit when we are fully moved in. We got to spend some time over in the part of town we will be living and just get out of the hospital for a while.
We received some very nice gifts from Chelsea and Ryan that we look forward to busting out when we transfer to the step down unit and Shawn is awake enough for some MadLibs.
Dad got Arya trained on the invisible fence and the dogs had a great time playing in the yard now that Ari isn’t afraid to leave the deck. Keep your fingers crossed there are no more accidents in the house.
