Today was a big day for Brandon. He had his first dressing change since the surgery. It went really well and there does not seem to be any complications right now. Things look good. The staff here is amazing and we know we couldn't be in any better hands. Everyone is wonderful from housekeeping to nurses to docs. We have never had better care. They allowed us to stay and watch while they all dressed in what looked like surgery garb from head to toe. They were very careful to have a sterile environment. We were amazed at how they could change his dressings, bandage him from shoulder to toe, and change his bedding and clothes without hardly even moving him.
Our guess from what the doctor was saying was that he would be here at least 4 more days. They didn't really set a date, but told us what they planned to do with him over the next four days.
Brandon had some company yesterday. He wasn't feeling well for one and was asleep for another visit. Everyone was so understanding. Thanks guys!
The nurse said that a dressing change is like running a marathon, so he is going to sleep well for the next few hours. We may run down to see Natalie for a bit at her gymnastics camp. She is here is SLC. Maybe Brandon will be up for a game on the playstation when we bring her back.
