Wow what a great day today. My daughter sure is a trooper. She looked great, she was a fantastic colour, she was very alert and could hear us. Her morphine has been turned down and she is tolerating the pain really really well. She has been lying on her back all day, which is great because she used to hate it. Her breathing has improved from what we can see. Her chest isn’t going fast anymore it’s just going up and down nice and slow, which to us seems like she can breathe better. The biggest thing for us today was when she opened her eyes. This is the first time she has opened her eyes and looked around. She had them open for about 15 minutes. Normally she would just open them a little bit and then close them again, today she had them fully open and was looking everywhere.
Her weight today was 1040gms, now this doesn’t actually count because that’s an increase of 140gms overnight. So sorry nurses no cake for you just yet!! There is bound to be an increase in weight over the next few days because she is going to get all swollen again from her surgery. At least this time we are a bit more prepared for it.
