Day 2
Sleeping after a Hard Morning
Well, last night went alright. Ava was waking up for short lengths of time throughout the night, but going back to sleep rather quickly after some minor fussing. However, this morning things got a lot worse. She started moaning and crying out in pain and it was obvious that she was suffering a lot. She was breathing very hard and fast and was not able to fall asleep because of the pain. They upped her dosages of morphine a couple of times and started another pain killer. They also gave her a nasal cannula with high flow oxygen to try and assist her breathing so she wouldn't have to work so hard. Both solutions seemed to help and she fell asleep for the rest of the day. The first couple of days after surgery are always the worst. Overall she seems to be recovering alright.
