First night out of ICU

Well we had our first night out of the ICU last night. He was pretty uncomfortable last night and had a hard time sleeping. For some reason he is always itching his nose...we have tried Benedryl and that doesn't seem to make a difference. He gets so mad though because he knocks his paci out when he rubs his nose with his bandaged hand...so my night was spent putting his paci back in his mouth and keeping him from grabbing his central line, his other favorite activity! They did give him a shot of morphine this morning at about 4 and that seemed to have gotten the pain under control again so he is more restful this morning. It is really hard for me to watch him get so agitated knowing that there isn't anything I can do but try to calm him down. He can't open either one of his eyes and I am sure that is hard for him to understand and add to that the swelling and pain and I can only imagine that he is agitated! He is drinking from his bottle better now that we started using our bottles. He is pretty picky about how he gets his formula apparently! :) I am hoping to see some improvement on his swelling today...we'll see. The plastic surgeon said that once he is able to open his eyes, the swelling goes down pretty fast after that. I will post more pictures as I take them and have time to get online! Thanks for all the prayers!
