Kade had a great day! He tolerated the wound vac change well and has had great numbers all day. He wiggles almost constantly and even opened both eyes a little while I talked to him. What a wonderful feeling to have him look at me and squeeze my finger all at the same time. I am sure that his sight is quite fuzzy, but I know he knew that I was there.
The surgeons will wait until Monday for the next procedure. The plan is to put some retention sutures in to begin the process of pulling the muscles in his tummy back together. Each time the wound vac is changed out, they will "tighten" the sutures a little more. After Monday, we assume that we will be on a 72 hour schedule for wound vac changes. We are glad that Kade will have a good 3 days before they mess with his belly again!!
All in all today was one of the best we have had since arriving, and we pray that the weekend will allow for a lot of rest and healing!
