Bye Bye Epidural!!

So far so good- the epidural is gone (for about an hour now) but it takes a while to wear off so the next hour or so will be the real test if the oral medicines are going to be enough to keep him comfortable. He's still on Valium- they added Tylenol & Oxicodone- so he should be loopy and in no pain. We just need to make sure he can handle the medicine without getting sick, or having trouble breathing. (which so far he is doing just fine)
I will check back in later- I want to be with him in case the pain comes back- just wanted to let you all know the epidural is out- which is one of the first steps toward going home!
xoxo! Keep him in your thoughts as he transitions over the next day or two, we hope it will go smoothly!
