One Night Down
Ben had a decent night last night (considering). He rested on and off all night and I was able to manage his pain with Tylenol - I didn't want to give him Osycodone unless he really needed it since it upsets his stomach so much. The bleeding was our biggest problem. He had so much blood running down his face from his nose, pooling in his mouth and coming out his trach. I dilated his nose for the first time this morning with the help of my mom and the nurse. It was every bit as awful as I was expecting - I won't get into the details of that.

Glad to hear he is home, but sorry to hear of the dilation issues... ...

Oh, poor Ben--and poor you, having to dilate him! That's just got to be awful. I hope the bleeding and pain stop soon. I hate to think of sweet Ben going through all that!
I'm sure the nights will get easier for Ben. He's a tough little boy. And I'm sure you and Mike are doing an amazing job (as always) taking care of Ben and helping him get through this.
