Pretty swollen!


He's still Tor, but he looks a little different. Big chipmunk cheeks from the swelling. But I can also tell that the chin is further forward. At first glance, he looks more like his cousin Ryan than he did before! (Hi Ryan, I hope you're reading this! I don't think it's because you have chipmunk cheeks!)

He has an ice pack tied around his head that makes him look like an eskimo with a furry parka on. And he's snoring. Oxygen saturation is staying nice and high. The doctor said that he has a very nice big airway now, but the swelling might reduce that for a time.

Right now, he's getting some morphine and a steroid that will help a little bit with the swelling, but not much...
