So it seems that today we will go ahead and leave. Now I don't have the walking papers in my hand at the moment but we are already working on packing up and all that.
Last night still sucked and I am glad we stayed. By 8 p.m. vitals she had a slight fever of 100, considering that she wasn't above 96 since the surgery it was a good jump. From there she feel asleep and started to have heart rate fluxes that lasted 6 hours into the night, early morning. What would happen is she'd drop to the 50's & 60's, the alarms would go off enough to startle her system and she'd jump to 120's. Start to drift off again, heart rate would go down, repeat. By midnight vitals she was back down to 95 degrees and shivering under 3 blankets so it was just a very long and frustrating night all the way around.
She's still very sleepy and not wanting to get up and moving and she's only voided once today and it's 10:30 a.m. here. I will just keep pushing her to get up and drink and hopefully when we are out in the sunshine and in our own element she will perk up some. I am not even caring about her not eating right now as long as I can keep her drinking.
Just a bit ago they came in and pulled off the tegaderm over her incision and she was one p*ssed off camper! She's still favoring it but not complaining about it at all. If you go to touch it she just shy's away but still doesn't complain or even say anything. Wish she would say that it hurt or let us know how it feels. Sometimes it's hard having such a brave and strong little kid, they don't express fears and pains as you'd like them to.
Well I am going to try and keep packing and hope that it will hint to the nurses!
PS: Here's her "1 inch incision"
