Arrived at PICU this morning and was told that Steele had a really good night. Less pain and slept mostly throughout the night shift. I was able to hold him this morning for 2 hours, which was a bonus! I have not been able to since his admit last Thursday. I am able to tell that he still has quite a bit of pain in his gut, he would go for about 10 minutes of rest and then wake-up, arch his back and begin to cry. Luckily he has some really good pain management with Fentanyl drips. Wish I could have some of that during his fits as well!
The plan has not changed, he is still on a course of antibiotics, no feeding and let him rest. Recovery at this point is the name of the game, which may last another day or another week...it's "The Steele Show"! Lot's of lights and a big audience, but no camera's allowed (sorry).
Thanks to all that have been sending their best thoughts and prayers to a speedy recovery.
Big hugs to all of you. He's a tough guy with the best parents and big sister. Thoughts and prayers constantly. Go Steele! And thanks, as always, for these updates.
