March 25, 2010 – Matson’s Recovery
Our little sweet boy, Matson has his surgery yesterday. All went well until recovery. They had a hard time stabilizing him. His heart rate was 220 and his pain level was awful. They tried different medicines to control his pain and nothing was working. His Mom reported that his body was racked with spasms. Finally they tried a strong pain medicine plus Valium. He was drifting in and out of sleep. Spasms would wake him up. Poor little guy. He was put in a room with another child that would screech and he would get mad. He told his Mom he was going over there and tell that boy to stop because his screeching was giving him a headache. His Mom told him he could not walk yet and he said then he would crawl over there. Always the little bossy one. His Mom has asked for another room when one comes available. The good news is the doctors were able to correct his curve from 60 degrees to 22. That was better than they expected.
Here is our little guy in the hospital.
Rest easy my sweet boy. You are loved so much.
I will update more later.
