Ellis Living!: Surgery #1, finally home

We are almost 3 days post op, and finally home.
We were released from the hospital yesterday (10/10/12), but we stayed in Ft Worth one extra night to be close to the hospital (just in case) and to get some rest before we drove home.
Im so glad to be home.
Easton is doing well, he sleeps a lot because we are giving him tylenol with codein every 4ish hours. He is eating well though, and that is really good news. Every time he wakes up, we give him his medicine and then he eats 2 or so ounces of pedialyte and 4-5 oz of formula!
We are getting used to his face looking different. Its hard for me to see him in pain and discomfort. He had smiled a few times for us, showing off his dimples. His lip is covered in a glue substance so he can't move it at all so when he does smile we really only know that because of those amazing dimples.
Im so amazed with him. He is so strong and brave. He just acts like he is fine (but a little stoned :) ) he pulls his No-no's (Arm restraints) off and flails them around. THe only thing he really hates is when I have to clean out his nose. I have to take a q-tip soaked in peroxide and clean out his nostrils and around his lips and he is definitely NOT a fan of that.
I have so many new fears now. Will I clean it right, am I doing what Im supposed to, is it ok to let him do this or that. Im trying to just let instinct mixed with the Drs notes guide me.

I still have some emotions to work through with him having this new face and having to put him through all of this. But I think Luke and I are doing a good job with supporting each other.

We are incredibly humbled by the support and love we have received. We love you all so much.
