Tuesday

Not unlike the last eight days, this has been a day of ups and downs. When I came in at 5:30 this morning, he was in excruciating pain and had not slept all night. The nerve block they placed in his left leg during the surgery yesterday, did not work. The purpose of the nerve block is to completely block the pain after surgery. It took until 1PM today before they took him back into the OR and inserted another nerve block. This one worked and so now his left leg is completely numb. What a relief! He has a little better appetite today (which translates to; he's eating an eighth of what he normally does). We are so grateful when he has any pain relief what so ever.
