Still in the PICU today - but it sounds like we will be moving out onto the floor soon. Ivey had a really rough night. Her morphine was bumped to every hour and still she was hurting and restless. She would doze for fewer than ten minutes at a time. The swelling has increased immensely and the bandages have been removed. It is hard to imagine how she will look once the swelling subsides. They prepared us best they could for her appearance and honestly I thought I had this under control. After all, she was swollen after the trach once upon a time - and I honestly thought that had subsided the shock value of seeing her sweet face swollen. This is much different.
Nonetheless, she is doing well today. Pain has been better. And she made it through a surgery that as the neurosurgeon said 'will not be a cakewalk for Ivey'. She did it. And we can exhale - a little - for now.
