Presley continues to heal well. He is still very swollen, and extremely fussy. We've had to hold him non-stop for the past 15 hours or so because when he is in his crib, he cries. He's eating fairly well, just smaller amounts more frequently. One of the strangest things that I didn't expect is to feel movement in his skull bones. His head feels like it ways 10 pounds more than before the surgery, I'm assuming that is from the fluid\swelling. When you move him, you can feel a crunchy sensation. The plates in his skull are much looser, so they tend to rub together and cause this.

The neurosurgeon was in around 12pm today and thinks that Presley is doing well. He feels like the fussy behavior is due to constipation. The narcotics slow down the system, and it can cause constipation. The day of his surgery, he was given a medication to try and avoid the problem, but apparently it didn't do the job. So, they are giving him something to try, and if we don't get any results by later today we are going to request something stronger.

At this point, we are looking at being here until tomorrow at the earliest, and possibly into the weekend depending on how his pain management works.

On a bright note, our roomates have been released, so they are preparing to leave. Hopefully, we will have some peace during the night. No word on a new roomate.

Since there is very little change in Presley's appearance, we won't post any new pics. Hopefully, we'll have enough positive change to make tomorrow's pictures a joy to look at!
