Waking up every three hours to give medicine is wearing. Its amazing how fast three hours goes when you are asleep. Our efforts are paying off big time though in that we had another relatively uneventful night. Our little guy does not like the taste of the ibuprofen so getting him to take at 4:00 a.m. was a bit of a challenge . He was so sleepy. Like a champ though, he finally agreed and was quickly off to dream land.
He woke up again around 9:00 a.m. and, again, seemed pretty content. Quietly asked for something to eat and snuggled in to watch cartoons. I noticed he was getting really quiet by around noon time frame. When I asked him if he was ok, he just said it hurt a lot to talk. Figured it was time again for some oxycodone and 20 minutes later, he was a new kid. By 5:00 p.m., he was playing BeyBlades with dad and sis and screaming "1, 2, 3.... let her rip!"
Appetite today was good and at 10:00 p.m., he said he was hungry for more and ate yogurt and a granola bar. The granola bar being the first non-soft food he's had since the procedure. He ate without complaint and then goofed around in bed for a good hour before falling asleep. Not good news for parents that have to wake up at 1:00 a.m. for a medication dosing. If that's the worst of Day 3 though, I'm grateful.
