Post op Day 3

Today the plan is to eat and drink like normal. Broc has only eaten 2 sausage links for breakfast. He is really not in the mood for much today. He is not in pain unless he walks sound. At the moment we are battling allergies. His body has reacted to the tape used as well as the anti bacterial solution the used for surgery and his picc line dressing change. We have given him benedryl and are hoping for it to kick in soon. Poor guy is so itchy.

The genetic labs that were drawn yesterday will be sent to Mayo Clinic so they will take a couple weeks to get those results. They are starting to wean his prednisone today.

He seems pretty wiped out today. Think he was far too active yesterday or his bodies immune response is starting to kick in. Tonight he will go back on IV fluids and be NPO for his angiogram tom.

Thank you to a wonderful family who drove down to come and visit us yesterday. What a surprise. We enjoyed a lovely dinner provided by Ashley. Thank you so much for making sure we are well fed and for my mocha. Sometimes it's the little things that can give you that extra boost you need.

If anything else changes or we get more results I will post again.

  1. I hope the Benadryl is helping! The itchiness I get after surgery as I react to things (mostly the various painkillers) drives me crazy!
