Surgery Part 3

By the way, I'm loving the free WiFi at the hospital.... brilliant! We had a pretty eventful night, there was someone in here at least every hour. The morning sleepiness reminds me of how one feels after having a new born infant who doesn't eat well, minus the sore bottom of course. Aggie got morphine every 2 hours to keep her comfortable. I think today we will start cutting back on that a bit. She is also getting tylenol every 6 hrs. She elected to remover her own NG tube at about 3am, despite my efforts to prevent it with gloves and blankets. It was suppose to come out at 6am so thankfully they left it out. She had her first bottle of pediltye this morning, she took about 1/2 an ounce, and was done with it. I also got to hold her for the first time this morning, I read her a few books and cried. She seemed pretty uncomfortable so I put her back to bed and she fell quickly asleep. I've been very thankful for her temperament, God has been answering our prayers. We were told that when the sedation wore off she would be like a "bear". She did complain on and off between dozing, but definitely not bear like. She's been much more content since the NG was removed, it was gaging her quite a bit and she couldn't have any liquid in her mouth. She has had some moments this morning where she seems like her little self instead of giving the 10 yard stare, she gave me a good morning squeal with her horse little voice. Very sweet. She's not staying awake for very long, just about 5-10 min. at a time. I would prefer she sleep though as much of this yucky part as possible. A friend brought me coffee this morning, and Aggie smiled and waved hi to her, so precious! After Mike arrives today, I'm headed to a friends home who lives close by for a nap. God has been providing for all our our needs!
