Garrett slept through most of the day yesterday and last night.
He's experiencing a lot of discomfort this morning from the operation, so they've given him pain management medication. He also spiked a fever, but after tylenol and ibuprofin, it has gone away. His surgeon stopped by and doesn't think the fever is something to be concerned about.
Garrett developed a raspy cough overnight and sore throat, due to the intubation. However, that seems to be abating.
The full body rash is very inflamed. The dermatology team thinks the colon was the cause of this massive systemic inflammation, not an infection. So, we're hoping the rashes start to lessen now that his colon has been removed. He let me apply cream to most of it this morning, but it's really bothering him.
Garrett is currently on a light diet today, he's drinking milk and water. He's working on a new Batman Lego that Child Life gave him, and is watching TV.
