Elijah is in Day 3 of his recovery and the doctors are pretty happy with where he is at. The challenge for them is to make sure he stays comfortable but ween him off the sedation medications so Elijah starts breathing more on his own instead of the machines he is on.
It was great to spend time with him before his surgery. We were able to hold him, chat it up with him, he would flail his arms, kick his legs, and have all kinds of baby chatter! Its frustrating now when we go into his room and see him just laying there and we can't hold him...but he has responded when he heard our voices, that was cool to see.
Either way Elijah will be at Children's Hosptial for a couple of weeks, but each day so far has been small steps in the right direction for his recovery. Michelle and I have been in Milwaukee all week, but Michelle has to go back to work next week so that will be tough on her. It's a short work week, so we will be back down to spend Christmas with him.
From our family to yours, have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!
