We're amazed! Donovan is doing great. Just four hours out of surgery last night he was asking for cracker after cracker... after cracker after cracker... You should have seen the crumbs they found in his bed this morning!
Thanks for toys, Aunt Juls & gang!
He's tolerating having to lay flat and slept through his first night. He didn't experience any of the nausea we've heard so much about. I believe this is a good sign of what we're going to see with his recovery from the surgery. The pain has been managed really well by the team here at DeVos. We've been able to slightly elevate his head tonight and see how he tolerates it. He seems to be doing great and hopefully by the end of tomorrow will be able to sit upright in his bed. This is a time we're looking forward to for him. It not only is something that he wants but hopefully will help us begin to understand how much his strength is impacted.
Donovan is really grateful to have visitors, especially his "best friends" Emma and Carl. All are doing so well and we can't say enough about our dear friends that are helping us to keep all our kids happy and occupied. We even had a visit today from Emma and Carl's new friend Indigo, a dog with the West Michigan Therapy Dog, Inc.
