About 5:30am she woke up and I think for the first time realized she was out of surgery. She was complaining earlier about the foley but this time she was aware of the peripheral IV in her foot and that bothered her cause she has never had one there. She seemed uncomfortable and was grabbing her chest tubes and and would wimper from pain when she would cough so I asked for more morphine. She was able to be comfortable before x-ray came in at 6:00am. Praying we see improved films this morning. Amen!
The nurse then stripped her chest tubes to keep it from any blockage and the fluid flowing out. She just opened her eyes and looked at me but didn't cry and went back to sleep. She is due for her other pain meds but we're holding off cause the morphine is making her breathe a little too shallow. It's finding that good line between comfort and not too sedated.
I'm sure I won't be able to update during the day as she'll be awake or I'll be trying to catch a nap when she does. I'm running on about an hour sleep split up throughout the night. I'm not complaining one bit but I know I have to take care of myself in order to care for her.
