One of Chance's friends from school brought him a superman cake, with a message, "Chance, you're our superhero!" Having a light-up superman on your cake always helps you to recover faster:)Chance slept through the night - no more throwing up, no more real problems (which was really good - he would not have liked watching Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister eat his cake for him) . Mom and Dad tag-teamed sleeping by him to be able to help should anything have happened.
This morning Chance was a little more docile than he was after the first implant. He just wanted to lay on the chair. Later in the morning, he approached me as I was eating a late breakfast and told me happily that he could walk again. It is always good to be able to walk. Then Chance wanted his friend from across the street to come over and play and he seemed pretty much back to normal.
So we took the bandage off of Chance's head today. Well, most of it anyway. We unwound the turban of gauze that encircled his head, removed the gauze "bubble", and got down to the square gauze pad that actually touched the wound. And then we stopped. Chance was telling us that he wanted to lay his head down on the counter and so we asked him if it hurt. He said it did, so we stopped and gave him some pain medication planning to take that last piece off when the medicine kicked in. Then we turned on a movie for the kids and now Chance is sleeping. So, we'll finish tomorrow :)
