As the nurses were trying to clean Jared up and give him a mini "spa day" he became agitated, so they had to sedate him. He's been under for the last few hours. I was able to fall asleep and have a good nap for about an hour!
3:45 pm
The nurse was putting some boots back on Jared (they help keep the feet straight so when your legs atrophy they won't turn inwards), he started to wake up again and started moving his hands trying to reach up towards his face, as I grabbed his hands so he couldn't pull anything out, his eyes were wide open. The nurse was telling him it was okay, he just stared ahead, I began to talk to him and he tried to focus in and was turning his head towards my voice, he knows who I am, what a blessing.
He's sleeping again. If you have ever had surgery, remember how it was trying to wake up.
Many have been calling today, if I don't answer it's because I'm busy being a mother! I was able to help the nurse clean him up, it feels good to be able to do something.
What an exciting day! I just want to sing, sing, sing. However, that may embarrass Jared too much, he won't want to open his eyes again, so i'll just sing in my head.
Can't wait for Lee to be back in a couple of hours.
Jared, and Jared's family.

Softly singing songs from his childhood--lullabies you sang to him as a baby or primary songs may be very comforting, or even humming. Eventually, he may be embarrassed by your singing, but now I'm thinking it may be very comforting to hear sounds from his baby/childhood. Or even just softly reading to him-so what if they are kids books. Were there books he especially liked as a kid?
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited to hear that he is waking up. Every time, it will be better. What a way to end a day that started so hard for you.
