Will's surgery went just the same as Tenley's....successful! It was quite the relief to see his bright, blue eyes after 3.5 hours of surgery. He didn't even go on the nasal oxygen - he went straight from being intubated to breathing on his own. We are still trying not to get too excited with his progress due to his history of quick progress then quick decline thereafter. However, as of 7pm this evening, he was off to a great start. While he was under, he got the "snip snip" taken care of as well.
Tenley is doing well considering her situation. She started on 5cc's of milk per hour early afternoon and so far has done well with that. When she's sleeping, she's out like a light. When she's awake, she has waves of pain but still manages to smile every now and again. She's on Tylenol every 6 hours or so for pain (along with the epidural) however every now and again she puts her lower lip out and pouts...usually followed with a heart-wrenching scream sounding very much like the word "OWWWWW!!" Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for her...usually the first full day after surgery is the hardest.
