The Day After!!!

10:00 am - Went and visited Srikar. He is doing fine.. But lots of tubes and pipes going in and out of him.. I think there are like 10 -12 things connected to his body. We are told he is doing fine and there are no seizures so far.

11:50 am - Just came back from the PICU. Srikar is doing fine. Dad is sitting besides him. He is moving a little once in a while which is good as per Dr. Vining who dropped by this morning to check on Srikar.

2:20 pm - Just went to check on Srikar again. He is doing fine. They started feeding him formula by tube today.

3:50 pm - Dr. Carson came by to check on Srikar. He said that he is pleased with Srikar's progress. Dr. Carson said the moments in Srikar are exactly what he has expected. He joking said that Srikar might have read the manual and is doing exactly by the book.. :).. He also said that the functionality might have been transferred to the good side before the surgery itself.

I got a chance to take a picture of him this morning but I am not posting the picture here on the blog. But I am putting the link below. Please be advised that he is connected with many pipes and tubes going in and out of his body. Its not a pretty sight. If you want to see the pictures the link is below. Viewer discretion is advised.

8:30 pm - I just came after checking on Srikar. 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm was shift change so we had to leave. We went back at 8:00 and Srikar is doing fine. Everything is going accordingly. He looks a bit more swollen but we were told that it is normal for 24 to 48 hours of surgery.

10:00 pm - I went again into the ICU to check on Srikar. He is doing fine. They were cleaning his food tube and air tube at the time I went in. He is moving a little. His right eye look a little more swollen than I saw him last time. He is also having a little low temperature but nothing to worry about.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. Please keep praying for Srikar. Please keep Srikar in your prayers for his quick recovery.

11:00 pm - We came back from the hospital just now and Srikar is stable and doing fine. We got a chance to take another picture of him and it is added to the link below. Viewer discretion is advised.

Thank you all for you well wishes and support. Please keep praying for Srikar's quick recovery.

    I saw your little angel on the hemifoundation website. My son also had the surgery on 3/27/2009. I will say a prayer for your little one and for your family. I know how you feel as waiting is the hardest part. If you feel that you need strength, dig deeper, IT IS THERE!!!!! Take care of yourself as it is one of the best things that you can do for him. Stay positive and bless your little angel.
