Days three and four

It turns out that days three and four are the two worst days for feeling icky after the surgeries. I sure hope that is true because today is day four and Rhys has been miserable. Owyn is doing pretty well.

Nana watched the boys Thursday and Friday. Thursday she had their cousin Malia with her. This would have been OK except that Malia had a fever. It turns out she had hoof and mouth disease. Mouth, hand and foot? Something like that.

We are really hoping the boys don't catch it. It will give them a fever followed by sores in their mouths on their hands and feet. They will not be able to walk or hold things. It will be hell.

Rhys is in a lot of pain, even with his meds. He is holding his head very straight. He is whiny and needy. He is drooling like a waterfall. He does not really want to eat or drink. I have been giving him water from a syringe to keep him hydrated. He is trying but it is too much for him.

We really hope day five is better and that there is not going to be any hoof and mouth disease. We should know in three to six days. It lasts a week. Yeah us.
