I feel like counting down the hours until Ian's post-op appt. I have had some regret over pushing it back 5.5 hours, but I think Nadia will really enjoy her gymnastics lesson that morning. The poor boy is constipated, but I think that's been a blessing that poop hasn't gotten all over his wounds yet. The brochure said he needs to have a bowel movement by the 2nd day after sugery. Hopefully he'll have one tomorrow. He certainly was pushing a lot many times day. I was able to give him a bath around 11:30am (had to wait 24 hours). He had betadine on his back from the spinal they gave him. I'm supposed to give him a bath every day. That is no problem except both he and Nadia kept trying to pull on the catheter. It was unfortunately their favorite bathtub toy today. Ugh. I came very close to throwing up the first time I changed his diaper today. He has this extra flap hanging out because the doctor wanted to save the skin for the next surgery. The poor guy screams when I put bacitracin on it like I'm supposed to every time I change his diaper. I wish I could fast forward to Wednesday!! He slept for 10 hours last night and took two 30-40 minute naps today. I'm hoping he'll sleep 11 hours tonight as I'm pooped.
