Mitchell got to his room in PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) around 5:30. He is experiencing quite a bit of pain, so they are working on keeping him as comfortable as possible. He has been sleeping quite a bit, but when he is awake, he is very alert. He was asking how he looked...He knows what is going on around him and even asked what the score of the Tiger game was and which inning they were in. I thought he might want me to spend the night with him, but he said that he would be OK. Such a brave young man!
The doctor said the next three days, Mitchell will feel like he was hit by a truck, but usually by sometime during the third day, something clicks and they start feeling better. He will probably not be up to visitors until Thursday (maybe). I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers today. Please pray that the pain will be bearable and that he will be a cooperative patient as the nurses and doctors start getting him up and moving.
Love you all! We give God ALL the praise!
