Second surgery update

Luckily Timothy's surgery was scheduled for 8:00 AM this morning versus 12 Noon like last time. He handled missing his bottle like the trooper he is.

He's a hurting little man. He's very tired from the medications, surgery. The good news is that the pain relief for him is much better than last time. He's able to sleep and even eat a little italian ice.

When he woke up from surgery he was in pain and a bit angry, understandably so. He got some morphine via IV twice and was able to sleep. His mouth and nose are filled with dried blood. We are trying to clean him out slowly. He doesn't want us anywhere near his face.

He's also pretty swollen in the face and a bit in the body. He's got bags under his eyes and his lip is inflamed due to receiving wound be gone in his lip to reduce scarring from his lip repair. Hopefully now is will be looser and easier for him to manipulate.

Overall things are pretty good for his recovery.
