Ben had a rough night last night. Medically speaking he is fine but once the anesthesia wore off he became very agitated and upset about all of the tubes and wires. He just couldn't get comfortable and has been begging to go home. The swelling around his eyes and forehead is getting started and he's upset that he feels like he can't see. The swelling usually peaks on day 4 so we have a long way to go. I'm hoping he can get some lines out soon and we will be moved to the neurology unit where there are more things to see and do.
Benjamin's medical stability is great news. We are praying his discomfort will subside as quickly as possible, and your presence will greatly soothe his anxiety. For all he has endured, he remains the most incredibly courageous young boy. Sending hugs and best wishes for a progressive day.
