Recovery- Day 9

We had a good night in CTICU. Santi stayed pretty medicated on morphine throughout the night. They say the thoracotomy, or incision through the ribs, like he had yesterday, is one of the most painful to recover from. We're doing our best to keep him comfortable. I even slept in his bed part of the night. Mom cuddles seem to be the most effective form of comforting. 

We moved back to CV Acute earlier today. Santi has spent the day resting.
