He's still there

Today made 10 days and he's still there. Joel is so ready to come home and we are so ready to have him home but he hasn't hit a couple of the milestones that he needs to hit to come home. One of them being a bowel movement. He is on so many pain killers its gotta be slowing stuff down because there has been no movement since the surgery 1o days ago. Sounds painful to me. Also, his belly incision is still looking infected. The part that the Dr's can see is looking good according to Dr Huang this morning but Joel said they were going to do a CT scan to make sure there is no infection lurking behind the incision. I am pretty bummed. Typically this surgery has a 7-10 day recovery and then you are on your way home so I was so sure Joel would be home for Ty's birthday (tomorrow June 5th). Ty is taking Spiderman cupcakes to school and Ty and I will have a mini celebration with Gage by having his favorite meal (tacos) and playing in the sandbox. We'll wait for Dad to come home to celebrate with family. Would be nice if its tomorrow!! Oh and Joel is up and walking the halls now, he did a few steps today and started taking showers and rinsing out his incision a couple of days ago. So other than the 2 things above, he is moving right along. Night!
