Recovery: Swelling

The swelling hopefully reached its peak this morning. Jameson's eyes are mostly swollen shut, though he can open his left eye just a sliver. You can also see he has more swelling on the right side of his face. He is very frustrated when awake - rightly so! 

Jameson is currently only on Tylenol and managing his pain like a champ. Experienced an apnea and a couple self-resolved O2 drops over the night, which concerns the nurses. Fingers crossed we can move out of the ICU soon so Jameson can sleep in peace and without all the alarms. 

10am update - got a smile from my sweet baby James; first smile since we parted ways Wednesday morning 

 

Noon update - spent a little time playing with his favorite toy, though had trouble grasping it with only one hand.  Jameson sat on my lap for a bit while the nurse changed his sheets.  He can barely see, but it was enough to interest him and give the nurse a smile and giggle. On the downside, the attending physician wants to see Jameson in the PICU for another 24 hours on apnea watch
