Wren is back in the room but our plans for a quiet nap while he is still slightly sedated have not materialized. Wren seems very uncomfortable and cranky. His preference is to be held and nurse for ages but that was also painful for his hand which still has an IV. The cords get caught around his limbs and alarms keep sounding as his monitors malfunctioned with his kicking. He is also running a slight fever of 99.9, has a sore throat from intubation and is just generally pissy.
A dose of tylenol has not helped and he hasn't managed a real sleep since he came back 4 hours ago but teases us with little naps.
However, enter the Fisher-Price Aquarium Cradle Swing which has saved us. Wren is content to lie in the chair and not yell and toss and kick. I am thrilled. I don't know how long the soothing effect will last but I hope it is overnight. We have managed to turn the rotating fish on but the music off which is pleasing for all of us.
