: Joey and I had a decent night. He is still on the epideral and will be for 2-3 days. This seems to be controlling the pain well. His main gripe is just finding a comfortable way to lounge. He is also very thirsty-but, he cannot have anything by mouth while the NG tube remains in his nose. They are going to re-evaluate that today and possibly pull it tonight. It helps him by removing all the yucky stuff from his stomach. The fear is that if they pull it too soon, he could feel nauseated and vomit---this would not be good with an abdominal incision. So, we are swabbing his mouth with water and this seems to satisfy him. The surgeon was in this morning and asked him if anything hurt. He said, "No, I just need to sleep a little--that's it." Everyday-I am in awe of my son. We'll keep you updated.
