Sunday, September 2, 2012-5th day following the PA band surgery.
Diego is on Lasix to help with the excess fluid. He spent a lot of time in the restroom due to the Lasix and the amount of fluids they need him drinking. The general theme from Diego this morning is, “I want to go home.” I think he is struggling for 2 reasons. First, his dad is leaving this evening to return home. And second, he knows that his soccer team is playing this weekend in a tournament. Thankfully, his remote control car has made him smile and helped to get him up and moving around more.
The nurse moved Diego into a different room this evening. Diego had been sharing a room with an infant. He was struggling with the baby crying throughout the day and night. Hopefully, Diego will be happier in his new room. By the evening, I could tell that he was getting around a lot better. He was able to get in and out of bed on his own with no assistance. He did not ask for any pain medicine this evening either and seems to be doing just fine without it.
