Out of recovery and in his own room...

Gabriel is out of recovery and in his own room now. He is in 4S05 (4south room 05)
He is doing well. He is pretty out of it and deffinately will benifit from some sleep and rest. As I said before the surgery went well. The doctor is very happy with how the hip looks and with all the muscle lengthening and the releases he is at a very small angle. (which is amazingly good!)
He has an epidural for pain and is on a couple other pain med's so don't worry about pain- they have it under control. He needs his rest, especially today and tomorrow. They will start to ween him off the epidural and onto different pain meds as the days go by- we will be here at least 2 days- we could be here as many as 5 days- we'll see how things go. For now we just have to watch for infection or other problems but everything looks really good right now.
I need to get back to his room- I just wanted to post this final update for today. If you want to contact us- cell's are best. Eventually you can call the room (he has a private room) but right now he needs the quiet to rest.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers- please continue to keep us in them as we make it through these days of recovery... THANKS!
That's all for today!
Kari
