We're with Samuel now and he has been pretty upset - squirming, crying, fighting. Two doses of morphine haven't done a whole lot so Drs have dosed him with something else - loratab - to see if he responds to that better.
There is a good bit of blood around his mouth and nose, it's dry, but there. Surgeon came by and said things look okay and that he'd see us in the morning. Samuel is resting now in Sara's arms, requiring a bit of Oxygen, but he isn't screaming and fighting, which is nice. They've got sleeves on his arms to keep him from being able to get his fingers in his mouth; he's not really enjoying that restriction, but we'll likely have to have those on for a month. Fun times.
Well, we're gonna start trying to feed him a little here now, so I'm going to sign off. More later. Please do pray for his comfort.

All prayers of comfort and peace being sent Samuel's way...and your way, too! Hospital life can be so hard...but my hope is that it's healing, too. For all of you!
Love,

Grant and family,
