Another brief post from my iPhone. Todd continues his steady improvement. Much of the last 24 or so hours has been about a combination of better pain control along with moving more. I was able to be present at this morning's rounds and was able to discuss my concerns about his pain with the doctors. They were finally able to come up with a combination of things that are better at controlling his pain more consistently while also not exacerbating other surgery induced conditions. Todd is now walking a little, eating a little, and working on his breathing exercises to re-expand his lungs. He is more able to have short conversations and also to simply rest more comfortably. His mom has spent quite a bit of time with him today, which is great, and I took a much needed break this afternoon.
