Tuesday update

The scope is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00!!!! I'm so excited that things are moving forward now. Nervous, but excited. We got here this morning and they had turned the paralytic off, so he is moving some. He has his cute red headband back on and it is taped to the bed (not as scary as it sounds) so his head won't buck around when he moves. His arms are tied to his legs to he can't get his hands on the breathing tube and remove it. The restraints aren't as bad as I thought they would be, but Bryce is still in a big fog so I'm sure as they take those off (sedation meds) tomorrow or the next day, they will have to add restraints. It is so good to see him moving, even the little bit that he is. One of us or a nurse has to be in there with him all the time though to hold his head if he gets real excited. I imagine they will turn the paralytic back on when visiting hours are over. It is not pratical for someone to stand there with him when we can't be in there. This little movement is good for his lungs though. His lungs looked good on the x-ray this morning, his blood count was good, no fevers and his heart rate and blood pressure are staying steady. All this is great news! Still no poop though. They have quadrupled the Miralax until he goes. They have a waterproof pad under him right now. I'm sure they are expecting a mess when it actually happens!

Anthony went home late last night and is at work today. He will be coming back this afternoon. It is probably good he isn't here to see Bryce moving, he gets so nervous!!! I'll try to update again tonight, but it might be tomorrow AM before I get a chance.
