Jac stayed in the PACU (The Post Anesthesia Recovery Unit) until 3 pm or so when he moved to the PICU. The doctors decided that he should spend the night in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) so he could be monitored closely to make sure if he has any A's & B's (Apnea and Bradycardia) that he has nurses and doctors right there.
He had a bit of a hard time for a few minutes when his sats went down into the 50s. I! realized that the problem was that his O2 had been cross-threaded so the cannulae was actually acting as an occlusion to his breathing rather than providiving him oxygen. We got that fixed and he has been resting comfortably since then. He is now sleeping on Grandma and I am about to take a little nap and hope he wakes up and wants to eat.
He has only eaten about 30 ml since his surgery - hopefully he is going to wake up and ask for food! He did a twice earlier but then he fell back asleep quickly. As the full effects of the anesthesia wear-off he should start to ask for food!
