Bennett is doing great today. He is off the morphine from the surgery and seems to be a trouper and doing really well without it. He is just chilling out in the ICU and will be here until at least next Thursday. He is just working on getting used to breathing on his own through the Tracheotomy and just keeping him relaxed so that he doesn't mess with his neck too much so that it can heal up.
We continue to have great nurses here and have been pretty excited with how great we feel about his care... this hospital is truly amazing with the little kiddos here.
During the time we are in the ICU they encourage parents to get out of the hospital and sleep elsewhere due to the traffic in and out and the fact that we really wont be able to leave the hospital once he is moved to the medical floor.
So last night Joel and I stayed with our good friends Katy and Mike Rokasy... what a treat it has been to have such a wonderful place to stay so close to the hospital. After a well needed glass of red wine last night and some great sleep, we woke up this morning to coffee, eggs and pancakes! We definitely needed it after a very emotional and hard week.
We have spent some time with Grandma & Grandpa Olsen today and Skyped (video chat over my laptop) right at his bedside with Grandma Ruth & Aunt Katie.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers... the man upstairs must being listening because Bennett is continuing to amaze us with how well he is doing.
