One last update for tonight

So, I'm really not even sure what all has happened since I last posted, so if I am repeating myself, I apologize. I am running on very little sleep. Cooper was given 2 more doses of morphine in the recovery room, for a totally of 4 doses. He was still on a small bit of oxygen, but was maintaining his sats very well. We finally got to a room at around 6. He was almost happy for a bit, but it didn't last. He is still clearly in pain most of the time. He was given a dose of oral tylenol with codeine at 7, but spit most of that out. Very frustrating because I knew it would cover his pain and they can't re-dose it. So now we are hanging in there until 11 when he can have it again. He yanked his oxygen off at about 7 too. They just had us leave it off to see how he would do. His sats have been hanging in the low to mid 90s without the O2. They tend to drop with pain and crying, but he recovers with just a little blow by. This is a good sign for going home tomorrow. His tummy is still bothering him, but he got IV zantac earlier, and it definitely helped. He is sort of sleeping in Curtis's lap now. He wakes and cries ever few minutes and then falls back asleep. It is going to be a long night to say the least. I will update in the a.m. and perhaps even post a photo or 2. Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. We appreciate everyone so much.
