Kadens surgical team team came around this morning for rounds. They checked his incision and all his vitals. They said that he looks really good on paper and in person.
They said he could start to slowly eat some ice chips here and there. The plan is to have him up and walking a bit today. Not sure Kaden is totally on board with that plan, but he will do his best. He doesn't get to eat anything until his bowels wake back up, which will likely be later on next week so the ice chips are at least something he can do.
He is very tired. He will wake up and talk here and there, but falls back to sleep pretty quickly. No nausea since earlier this morning and still very comfortable pain wise with the epidural pump.
He will most likely sleep the rest of the morning and we will see what late morning/early afternoon brings as far as him moving around.
