Well, he woke up fighting mad, and apparently kicked the crap out of a nurse! The comments were all about how they couldn't believe how strong he is! They had us come back, and that helped some, but he was still very agitated until they got the ativan in his iv. That kicked in quickly, and he is resting again. The swelling has started, but he opened his eyes a bit when we first came back. They apparently switched a wide strip from the front and back, but left a crossbar in the middle, so they didn't have to take the whole thing off. Now's when the fun really begins! Hopefully the ativan will keep him pretty comfortable for awhile. The catheter is out, but he still has 3 lines in for blood draws/fluids/etc. They are measuring pulse, blood pressure, oxygen level, and respiratory rate...all looks good there as well as with his most recent lab work.

Tell Zack I would kick the crap out of people too, if I was him!! Not that it makes it any easier on mom and dad, but I feel his pain...
I second what emily said! :) Will keep praying things continue to go smoothly!
Sounds just like his Dad. Ask Mom what Dave said to his anasthesiologist when he was 4 if Dave has not heard that story.
Tell Zack, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Di, Thomas, and JJ are thinking of him.
