Update How Luke is Doing

Well Luke is doing good today! He looked so cute this morning, had his eyes open and everything!! They still have him in the ICU until tomorrow but he did get 2 IV's out today and vitals look good. Still on Morphine every 2 hrs and Tylenol every 4 hours. We got to hold him more today which was so nice and he is eating good still. The plastic surgeon was in this morning and said he looked good but to expect him to start to swell(the swelling peeks at 48 hours post surgery). Tomorrow the plastic surgeon will remove his head wrap and drain from his head and the IV from his leg. I'm excited to hold him close and not be so stressed and careful with that drain. He needs the comfort right now of closeness. He did so good and was so calm in daddys arms today! I am not going to lie I'm a little apprehensive to see whats under his wrap, just not knowing what to expect and he will be completly bald and without the bump on his forehead and they said his head could be a little mishaped for a while because it needs time to settle and for the head to grow to proportion itself so not to expect perfect semetry...so it could be a big shock. Just praying for God to give me that prepared heart! The neurosurgeon just came in and said if he's eating and moving he's ahead of the game so that is good to hear. He is up on a pillow and has an ice pack on his wrap due to the swelling taking place. I'll take pics and post an update tomorrow once we get into regular recovery and get everything taken care of. Thank you for praying for us...Lane is still doing good(but I can kind of tell now that he is frusterated with having all these restrictions and rules and not having mommy all day like he is use too)  please pray for him!! Matt is amazing and is so strong and keeps everything in order and in check and is always so concerened for me and I am so blessed by him. Please pray for his continued strength. And please continue your prayers for Luke, for his swelling, for his comfort, for his recovery, and for his caretakers. And a prayer request for me....would be rest....not the sleepy kind(well that too maybe:) but for the mental kind. And for my parents who stayed another night in the hotel and are so wonderful!!
