1100am
Updates today won't be as often as yesterday but I will send them when there is anything new. Dad slept all night and rested well. Mom had a good night with no major issues. We arrived at the ICU at 830am this morning and she is doing well. She has already been up in a chair for 1 hour and according to her had a "good" bath by her nurse Kia. She knows the 4A ICU staff by name and they know all about us....lol She must have talked all night because Kia her nurse already knew about our whole family by the time we got there,. Kia is a twin so Nanny told her all about Ethan and Dylan then when I got there I had to show pictures of them. Anyway she is doing great. No fever or bleeding and is wanting to get the NG tube out of her nose. She had some sips of water and did ok with that. Dr. Wilson (Shen's Associate) came by while we were there and they are going to get the NG tube out and move her to a room later today. She is pretty sore and having to cough is pretty painful for her. Everthing is stable at this time. Rick and I are going to take Dad somewhere to eat this evening for turkey I guess. Missing my girls on this Thanksgiving Day!
8pm- Mom is in her room finally. Pretty much has all the tubes and gadgets out of her. Still has nasal canula for Oxygen, pain pump, and catheter until tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a hard day for her because they are going to get her up most of the day. She is complaining about her shoulder hurting and her Dr. says it is referred pain from the Liver and should go away in a couple of days. It has todo with the liver being cut and the brain knowing it has been cut...shew the body is so complicated?? Gonna do some more research on this subject. She has talked on the phone a little. Her throat is sore from being intubated during surgery. Not much pain until she has to cough and then it really hurts. I am staying with her tonight and I have already taken Dad back to the hotel for the night. He felt pretty good today so if we can get him another day or two of rest then the better for him. Rick and I took him out for Steak dinner today and it was delicious. Thanks Rick.
All is stable for now. Another update probably in am.
