Caden’s surgery went well today. Things went pretty much as advertised and there were no major complications. Caden was awake and in his own room by about noon today. He is being given pain medicine at least every three hours to comfort him. He has a little bit of a fever that is most likely a side effect of a one of the medications that he received during surgery. Sherry and Aunt Addie are with Caden until later tonight. I will relieve them by 9pm and be staying with Caden through the night.
Caden was admitted to a room in the MUSC Children’s Hospital in the cardiac ward (7C). This is a comfortable place for us. There were three nurses and one technician on duty who recognized us when we came through the door. They know Caden well and are taking good care of him.
Thanks for your prayers and support. I will keep you posted.
