Long night for my little super hero

Last night was by far one of the worst nights we have had after surgery. Maybe it was because he slept so good during the day and he wasn't tired at night or maybe it was because he was in so much pain. He was up almost every hour and sometimes would cry for 45 min to an hour none stop. Tried giving him, toys, juice, anything I could think of and he didn't want anything but to cry out the pain.

Last night he did have some chocolate milk and cheese pizza. He wouldn't let me feed him but only his grandma Vauble.

This morning, he was not happy, with the nurses giving him medicine, changing his tubes and having to dress him. Right now he doesnt want to move, so if you touch him or move him, he cries. We got checked out of the hospital by 9 and we went straight to Dr. Bauer's office to visit Mim for his 1st dressing change. He was not happy and crying the whole time. I held him. My mom took some pictures of his back and showed me once the dressing change was all done and all I can say is WOW! The results of the advancement on the right side are amazing, I thought he would just get a little of the nevus off and he got most of that side all done. That is another reason why Brayden doesnt like to be touched that side is super sore for him. Think about it, they just lifted and pulled and cut off the nevus skin. Anyone would be in pain.

Mim also told us that everything looks great and that Dr. Bauer put in 130 cc's of saline in each expander. Which is a great start to this round.

We are now on our long 7 hour car drive to Iowa. We will stay till Wednesday and spend time with family and friends while Brayden recovers. \\

Now we have to stay on top of his medicine, change his tubes every 4 hours and change his dressing once a day.

He is sleeping in the car right now, which is great...he needs his rest.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and thinking about Brayden yesterday and today!
