Day 2 and Day 3 post op

Our Jake is being such a trooper!!  He had his catheter and epidural out today and we are weening off the IV meds and switching over to PO meds (oral).  Trying to get a 4yo to take medicine every 4-6 hours for pain that tastes gross is NOT easy.  We are on track to be discharged tomorrow!! YAY!  Please pray for our transition out of the hospital to hotel/home.  His leg is still really sore and stiff and moving him is not easy.  He is a good patient until he has to be moved or take meds.  The other really tough part is pin site cleaning.  Its torture for him and it is really hard to hear him scream and beg you to stop.  :-( This is all really hard on all of us, but we know it will be worth it in the end. 

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!!
