Kaden has had a pretty good night. He has been able to sleep and mostly keep comfortable.
He has had some pain here and there, but when it comes he just presses a button and the epidural administers some medication and he feels better pretty quickly.
They did an assessment at 4am and checked all his vitals, shifted him in bed, asked lots of questions and administered some more meds through his IV. He was pretty awake and coherent and was actually able to open his eyes. (Earlier they were just too heavy because the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet.) All of the hubub actually made him a bit nauseous, so they gave him some meds to keep that at bay.
He is back to sleep now and will hopefully be able to get a few more hours rest before the doctors and students start making their rounds.
