Well, we're pretty exhausted. As of yesterday afternoon, Ada is in her own room up on the cardiac patient floor, which is obviously a good sign. She has not been eating very much and is crying a lot. At this point it is a challenge to know what she needs more- rest or hydration and calories. But then again, that is pretty typical behavior for Miss Ada. Not a great eater! I had hoped that yesterday's eating meant that the surgery was instantly effective in helping Ada to have energy to eat well.
In any case, we are here and have a quiet room and everyone got a few hours of sleep last night. Ada continues on two or three meds to manage the pain. We even got some SMILES last night, which was a wonderful thing.
This floor has less strict visiting restrictions, so if you are healthy and wanted to drop by we will be here for awhile. Send us a text about timing, as we need to protect her nap time and our's. Theoretically we'll get naps sometime in here...
