Recovery on Super Bowl Sunday

Today had some interesting developments and certainly put things in perspective on a day when all that used to be thought about was what should I eat, whose party should I go to, who will win the game. Instead, Jake took center stage as he should and the trivial things I used to worry about are just that trivial.

Thankfully, Jake didn't get any more swollen from yesterday and his doctor felt like yesterday was really bad and that Jake probably reached his peak swelling early on. Today, Jake appeared to lose some swelling which provided some relief to us. Sam said he had another rough night and one of the nurses thought that perhaps rather than pain he could be agitated from not being able to open his eyes. We gave him some adovan to relieve any anxiety and it seemed to help as he rested most of the day and even regained some of his appetite. At one point during the day, he woke up and was moving his hands more and seemed to want to move his eyes. I spoke calmly to him to try to relax him and he ate some more and did calm down with his second dose of adovan. His eyes have reduced in swelling so we hope that perhaps tomorrow the dr. would want to remove the stiches from his eyes. We'll have to see. The good news Jake is out of the Pediatric ICU and now in a regular room at Cedars. We'll wait to see the outcome of tomorrow's report but today was def. a step in the right direction as the swelling starting to ease and some appetite is back. I found it nice that the Giants won tonight's game as it's great to have positive outcomes when no one expects it. Anything can happen and the Giants proved that. I think lil Jake liked the underdog winning and he will soon learn to relish that role.
More to come tomorrow as we put another day behind us.
