Friday Night

Grant started slowly getting more alert at intervals through the night He slept most of the time but he could also wake up and talk a little. His throat is pretty irritated from being intubated for several hours during surgery and he is doing a fair amount of coughing. We have moved from ice chips to little sips of water. Grant would like us to skip ahead to solid foods right away, but he will have to wait a little while longer. His head is starting to swell so we are putting ice packs on there. We have found that the one that works the best is a glove filled with ice.
