Thaddeus Update 67

We survived the night.

Thaddeus managed to get a little sleep overnight in small increments, He is suffering some pain from his incision on his chest. This mixed with regular checks by the nurses meant being awake frequently during the night. Despite that, he has been a real trooper. He has been drinking, eating a bit and even let us carry him to the bathroom twice. The only signs of rebellion we have seen came when the third person in a row came to check him out. Thaddeus hid his face behind his bear and wouldn't look at him. When the doctor pulled up Thaddeus' incision, Thaddeus pulled his shirt right back down. However, he did let them pull off the gauze covering the incision. His O2 stats on his finger and toe are holding steady in the 90s which is awesome. The numbers from the sensor that tries to read the O2 by the kidneys has been lower which is a bit of a concern, but that reading may be being affected by his pain from his incision.  He is getting an x-ray right now to check things out. So far, we are on track to head home later today.
