We didn't do the usual pain meds and it has been so much better for him. He is not sick so I guess we will stay away from the morphine and the oxycodine. The Toradol agreed much better with him. So we are now home on just Tylenol for pain.
When we got to our room after the surgery there was a really nice family sharing with us. Their English wasn't the greatest but we had such a great time. Their little guy had fallen off the monkey bars at the park and broke his arm and they had to have it repaired with surgery. It was Finnian's ortho doc that did the surgery so we had a chat with Dr. H. I was sad to see our room mates leave. The father is a minister in a Korean Church and he said some prayers over Finnian. As the father said "I feel bad my son break arm and have surgery but your Feenan can no do the same fall and break arm on monkey bar" with tears in his eyes.
Then we got new room mates. Oh wow. you wouldn't think any child had seizures like their child. You know he didn't have any while we were there and poor Finnian he had 5. They were small ones but seizures at the same time. You should have heard how the kid talked to his mother. Well just let me say I was glad we got to go home when we did. If anyone had an issue it should have been me as Finny got a medication mixed with D-5 which is a no no on the keto diet even though we had stressed no sugars. But you know what he was fine and he had had some of his seizures before the mix up. I asked for them to check his Ketones and discovered we has some dip sticks in our bag so I just checked them and he was fine.
He is home on feeds 24/7 for now but they said we will be able to bump him up in about a week or so. So we just have go with the flow. The most important thing is Finnian and his belly.
