Day 40: All Moved In

Mark is on his way home and John and I are settled in his new room. We are thankful that there was a little private room available as it affords us some quiet and privacy. So far John's been doing well, he even gave us a few real smiles and managed to sit up unsupported for a minute or two. He is still in some pain from surgery, and so is getting his morphine ever 3 or 4 hours, but mostly he's just aggravated that he can't have as much water as he wants to drink. He had gotten kinda dehydrated in the PICU and so since they are catching up with fluids I'm hoping that some of the driving thirst will be lessened. Hopefully tomorrow he will feel good enough to get up in his stroller and go for a bit of a ride.
