I got my squeeze!!!

Well he's out and in the ICU now. He looks wonderful , like a million dollars to me! A little pale but otherwise really good and much better then we expected. He lost only 50 EBL from surgery which is pretty good. His big issue is pain. The stinkers don't want to give him pain meds cause they don't want him to be sleepy....grrrrr!!!!! They are only allowing 50 of Fentanyl every hour. My L&D buddies know that's weak!!!!!!! His nausea is so far only from the intense pain so I guess that's good. We thought he'd be spinning and pukey from what they did. His wit is intact, he's smiled at me and is even a little sassy. His dressing looks ok, not too bad. I think if they can fix this pain he'll be good. They are going to let me stay overnight and the chair even leans back a little. I'll be peachy. I'm soooo much better now after seeing him. We can't take or make cell phone calls from in here but I can text so some of you may hear from me tonight. They told me not to expect for him or me to sleep. Because they worry about swelling they have to wake him hourly to check if he knows where he is...(that's where he's getting sassy). :) Thanks so much for all of you who carried this with us today. Wow, what a day! God got us through and after a few more days hopefully he'll be well on his way to his old self. I promise to give him some smooches from everyone who's cared and prayed for him today. Love to you all and probably this is it for tonight. Deana and Christine are heading out here in a minute. Keep the prayers coming for this booger to recover quickly, good night and God bless.
