We've spent most of the day Wednesday trying to keep Aidan entertained, and while he's not having any pain at the surgery site due to the epidural, he's getting cranky about the tape on his back and the edges of the cast. Shannon and one of the nurses put moleskin on the exposed cast edges, and retaped some of the areas that seemed to be causing the most irritation. He seemed fine after that.
It is getting a little less cumbersome to move him around. They we able to remove the wound drain and also saline locked (capped) his I.V. so that he doesn't have the tubing hooked up any more.

His appetite is back, too. He had one of his favorites (smoothie) and a fairly decent dinner.
Tomorrow, the other kids will visit again. I think it's been difficult for them being away from their little brother.
So glad everything went smoothly and everyone is doing well! Now it's time for wagon walks :) We'll keep on praying and hope Friday goes great too... All our love, The Scheiwe's
