What a night! No problems but it was funny how everyone who came in this morning asked how we slept. I mean... really? We had the nurse in every hour, turned on a light, and took this little machine thingy - like a doplar or something, and listened for the blood flow in T's flap. We'd just get settled and there she was again. Sweet lady, East Indian I believe. Very kind and gentle. This morning's nurse, I believe from the Philippines... we call her Ms. Srgt. Major! Nice lady but definitely has her adgenda and goes for it!
So today, T will manage his pain (check), sit in a chair (check, been there for a couple hours), walk (check) made several laps around the pod, and eat a liquid diet (this morning), and he just enjoyed an omelette and some fruit. Scott has been wonderful, best negotiator with Ms. Srgt. Major that one could ever find. He took this morning's duty and allowed me to get back to the hotel for a short rest and a shower.
So I am headed back to the hospital now. God is giving strength and direction for all of us and we are grateful!
I remember those night nurses when my daughter had frequent hospital stays :( Seems like daytime was a much better time for resting; the nurses during the day are busy doing so many things. Those night nurses are more vigilant with vitals, etc. Hope you both get some rest!
