First night recap

All told it was a good first night. As the anesthesia wore off, David began breathing more clearly and quickly. After it really left his system, the nurses were more willing to give him enough pain medicine to control his pain. Prior to about 530am, he was awaking in an agitated state frequently. The surgeon came in this morning at about 530 and took a look at David's mouth, and said that everything looked good. After the surgeon left, David really settled in and was able to sleep soundly. At the time of this post (10am) he's still sleeping. We may or may not be able to leave today, it really depends on how we feel and how David is eating. He is still receiving IV fluids and medication, so until he is able to take what he needs by mouth, we will need to stick around. Pray that we'll have wisdom and patience for the right timing.
