Surgery Update - 3

Karter is out of surgery. He is apparently doing really well, moving around and not very swollen at all. He was extabated quickly and without complication and he came to fast as well. PTL!

We will see him in about 30 minutes. The doctor has also said that he is not in any pain. Over the next few days he will be on morphine and Tylenol with codine. Amazingly the only thing that hurts is the incision, there are no nerve endings in the bone or brain that would cause him pain.

They have told us that we can expect that he will have slow function on the left side up until the next week. This is normal and will correct itself quickly.

Thanks for the prayers. We are anxious to see our little guy now.
