We started off okay at 4:30 this morning, but we're having some pain now. We were told he couldn't eat after 8:00AM (which of course, is when he got hungry for the first time). They were supossed to take out the drain tube (hence the no eating rule) but Dr. Salazar came in and said that it was blocked (with a blod clot), so he stripped it, which was very painful for Brody. They explained that it created a reverse vaccuum which pinches pretty bad.
As soon as we got him calmed down, another nurse came in to draw blood which upset him all over again and when he cries it makes his chest hurt. The nurses told him he needs to be up and trying to walk around the floor today. We've taken a few steps but it hurts, so we'll try again later.
We did get a little breakfast and Brody was feeling good enough to record a message for his sister, Joey, who we're going to see later.
