Main Floor

It's Tuesday night. We are on the main floor now. The nurses and doctors are not in quite as frequent, overall it is just quieter.

Anderson continues to do well. He is eating well, and not throwing up. The NP felt that we were in the clear at this point. We shall see.....

The only thing that Anderson is having a hard time doing is moving. Understandably! He does not like us to pick him up or move him. Dr. Frim says this is good, this means his CSF is flowing and he does not know what the feeling is, it feels "different" to him. He needs to adjust to this new feeling. In addition, obviously, it is painful for Anderson b/c they just did major surgery on his brain and cut thru the back of his neck to get there.

Anderson was much more alert today, we read books, watched a few cartoons (he NEVER sits still to typically watch Dora!), sang songs, took naps, ate! It was a good day. It's hard to believe he had major surgery 24 hours ago!

I am not sure we will be as spoiled tonight though as we were last night. Aunt Sara and Uncle John and his family bribed the night shift nurses last night in the PICU with pizzas. They told the nurses to take extra care of their nephew ;) Thank you....we did get some extra special treatment last night! ;) What a fun idea!

Good night from us and Our Little Tiger!
