Last night she woke up several times prior to Bart and I going to sleep around midnight. We would ask her if she was in pain or uncomfortable and she would shake her head no. We ended up giving her bolus doses of Morphine (pain) and Versed (sedation) anyway to help her drift back of to sleep. She definitely knows that Bart and I are here, when she wakes up she rolls her head back and forth until she spies us across the room. After speaking to the resident last night we decided to increase her morphine drip/ hour throughout the night. Usually night time is when the pain is the worst. They have brought it back down this morning. She seems to be resting well so far this morning. She does have a little bit of fever again but she recieves Tylenol round the clock so hopefully it will start coming down soon. They are talking about doing some cultures right now to check for infections.
Please pray that if they decide to culture her that they show no infection. Also continue to pray that her pain continues to be managed and that her lungs stay free of pneumonia. Also please make sure if you attend church today or tomorrow that she is added to your prayer list.
Today we will be spending a lazy Saturday with our baby girl. Lots of "lounging" around for the three of us. We have already had some rounds on the unit so it should slow down until this afternoons rounds.Thank you from the bottom of hearts for all the texts, calls and messages we appreciate the outpouring of love and support.
