A Sam Update & (I'm Sure) Other Random Thoughts
Mood:  spacey
Hello Everyone!

Sam's surgery (eye muscle surgery) went very well. He had a bit more bleeding than is normal, so his little eyes are very very red, and the doctor said that it would probably last a little longer than the usual two weeks...but I'm glad its over! Sam had a few seizures on Tuesday afternoon during his (VERY) short nap, but he came home Wednesday morning and is doing very well. He's playing & eating normally, and best news of all, the doctor said that at this point, surgery looks to have been a success! Sam does not seem to be in any pain, which many of you have asked...thank you for your concern...he is kind of like Jonah...we're not entirely sure how much pain he can feel or how he processes it...anyhow...he's doing very well and hasn't needed so much as a dose of Tyelenol since surgery. He does NOT like his eye drops (antibiotics) in the least...so its a fight three times a day, but we want to keep him un-infected... so its a necessary part of being Sam's mama right now.

I always seem to get headaches when one of the boys is in the hospital...not sure if it is the stress (what stress? No stress here!) or what...this time, I think that I was VERY dehydrated, not drinking enough water because Sam didn't want me to leave his sight...Anyhow... killer migraine from HELL the past couple days. The headache is mostly better today, but the nausea & photosensitivity has been horrible today...was worse yesterday...so its getting better. I had an adjustment today and will go back to the chiropractor tomorrow morning for another...hope it helps. I don't usually have migraines that last this long...this was a bad one...but I think its passing, so hopefully I won't be able to keep complaining for too long!

Sam has learned how to open doors. I don't even have to begin to tell anyone how much stress that could cause...do I? Yes, I've heard of (and liberally use) childproof doorknob covers...but my sweet angel can get them off. ugh.... OK...that's all for now... I have to gorilla glue doorknob covers onto doorknobs tonight! Fun Fun!
