Mama finally got out of recovery about 9:45pm last night and was moved to her room. Low blood pressure and nausea were the main culprits of keeping her in recovery so long. They are keeping a real close watch on her, so she didn't get much sleep last night. Between blood draws, taking her normal vitals and hourly blood sugar tests, the interruptions were about every 15 minutes to a half hour.
The consent interruptions have continued today, so she still is not getting much sleep. Mama is extremely weak and talks with a whisper. The doctors felt everything went well in the surgery. They are adjusting her pain and nausea medication and treatment to try to get her more comfortable. Due to her allergies to so many of their most commonly use medications for nausea, they are also trying an acupressure treatment along with her current meds. Moving induces nausea, so their request for her to get up and at least sit on the side of the bed or a chair is yet a challenge. She sat on the side of the bed once this morning. I read her the comments posted on her blog while she was sitting to help distract and encourage. She gave little smiles and soft words of appreciation. Thank you for your notes of love and encouragement. They mean so much.
Even in the midst of the storm, we know and trust God is in control. We appreciate your continued prayers, notes of encouragement and gifts of love.
With love and appreciation,
Carmen and family
