Indicia

We were able to go in and see Wren shortly after 6pm. It was hard on us to see him buried in a nest of cables and tubes, with all of the fluids and signals dripping in and out of him. His face was puffy and oblivious from the morphine. But everything that mattered was good. Every indicator the doctors looked at was promising. The pulse in his feet was strong (compared to a weak pulse even before the operation), his oxygen saturation levels were optimal, the fluids they were draining had very little blood, and his catheter had plenty of urine (doctors love pee).

Shannon has gone home to spend some time with Frost while I take a nap. We're tired, but elated.

We are hugely relieved. I hope the night is uneventful too. I am so tired I could fall asleep on the floor.
