The day after surgery

Ethan is doing ok...not bad but not great. He's in a considerable amount of pain as to be expected but is also struggling with painful muscle spasms. The staff here has been top notch and we cannot complain at all. Right now the plan is to remove the epidermal tomorrow and to give him pain meds via the IV alone. In addition, he'll likely get casts on tomorrow as well as a removable stabilizing bar. He's making progress and the bumps we're seeing are typical...nevertheless it's never fun to see your little one in pain of any kind. Right now our predicted discharge date is Saturday.
