Three Days Post Surgery
Griff’s doing better, thankfully. I’m tapering him off of the hydrocodone and Valium, though he doesn’t really know that. You know, sometimes mamas need to do things stealthily. I’ve amended my goal of having him off everything but the Motrin by Monday to by Tuesday. I think that’s realistic.
I’m having him get up and walk a short distance… the recliner to his room and back or the recliner to the kitchen and back… every hour or so. I’m only having him walk when I know the meds are working well, so he doesn’t have all bad experiences with it. When he first gets up in the morning, Mike carries him from his room since the meds haven’t had time to work at that point.
Chuck and Stacy brought Eliza home yesterday, and while she’s added another dimension to the situation here, it’s really good to have her home. She makes Griff smile, and I’m grateful for her. It was nice to have all of them here for a little bit… a good distraction for all of us.
I go back to work tomorrow, and I’m not looking forward to it at all. But I don’t worry about the boys. Mike will take good care of Griff, and they’ll get along just fine without me. I’d just like to get a good night’s sleep before heading back to work tomorrow, and I’m not sure that’ll happen tonight. We’ll see.

These are the times when being a mother is HARD.
Man, I forgot he had that surgery so soon. Soooo glad it seems to have gone well. Wow. He is a trooper. Glad he is older. It would have been so much harder if he were younger. Praying for his recovery.
I hope you got some sleep!
