Friday Morning update..

Thursday:

Lots of pain today, he had a bite of jello but pain over took that.. Still on lots of morphine... He did have a treatment tonight and it was productive but he is wiped out now... Our big prayer request as he begins to eat is that he will be able to keep it down and pass on through and no infection... His site is pretty red..

Friday:

Korbin has had a very busy morning.  The school teacher came in and worked with him, I got to go get a much needed coffee!!  Then as soon as she left “Savannah” (therapy dog) came in for a visit! Korbin loved that! 

I spoke with both of Korbin’s surgeons and the pain team this morning. Our goal today is to try to get korbin off the morphine pump and try to do some pain medicane orally. Also working on drinking more… Korbin was begging to eat a banana so Dr. Calkins let him have half of banana and it stayed down! Now we just need everything to work on the inside!  I am sorry I haven’t posted much… Korbin has been very very clingy and wants me to hold him. His pain has been off the charts. He usually don’t say much about pain, but Wednesday and Thursday he was very vocal about his pain!  He has been very crabby too! I cant blame him, if they would have played with my insides like that I think I would have been much more crabbier than he is being.

There was talk Monday letting him try solid foods… (although he got to have a couple bites of banana today, they don’t want to rush, they said we really need to wait for his colon to wake up because he could “choke on the food”...)

This is going way better than the last time, even the docs have shared that with me… They also shared how independent he is… no idea where he gets that from ha ha

He is sooooo bored that he is "going for a ride" ... raising the bed up and down lol.. I told him no and the nurse told him its ok... lol
