Day 2

As you can see by the photos, Spencer has gotten more swollen over night and even just through out today. He has two black eyes and some bruising on his face too. He has shown signs of improvement though. His last morphine shot was at 2 this afternoon and he has been comfortable on Tylenol with codeine so far. He is running a temp, but they said that was normal. I did finally get him to take 2 oz from his bottle, he isn't a fan of the hospital bottles. He is back on the IV, but if he continues drinking his formula, they will take him off again. The down side to him not being on the morphine is he is more awake and now he is trying to take himself off the IV! Not fun!! He is also frustrated by the fact that his eyes are swollen shut and he can't open them. He is moving around, kicking his legs and moving his arms in true Spencer fashion, he just has his eyes shut! It is both cute and sad at the same time. The plastic surgeon said today that once he gets his eyes open again, the swelling should go down pretty quickly.

I just wanted to show everyone that we are getting rest too...I know that this is only Dean getting rest, but don't worry about me, I am finding rest too. Last night I slept for about 6 hours in what they call the "quiet room", and that was nice! Tonight I will sleep in the room with Spencer on a cot, so that will be nice. Dean brought up my pillow, because last night the only part that sucked was the paper thin excuse of a pillow that they gave me! But, I am not complaining...it was better than sleeping in the chair in ICU.

I will keep updating as long as I keep getting new information! Spencer is settling down again...but not before he ripped off one of the monitor leads that were stuck to him from the ICU. They aren't being used anymore so it isn't a big deal, but I would imagine that it had to sting a bit when he tore it off!! Crazy kid!! :)
