Day Two...
And now I understand what my friends at The Joint Commission are talking about when they refer to alarm fatigue!  Although O continues to be a rockstar, it was not a very restful night for us between beeping monitors and vitals every two hours.  I think we got our best sleep between 7 and 9 a.m.

The plan is that Physical Therapy will be in yet this morning to get her sitting up in a chair.  This will be painful for her, but is an important step in her recovery progress.  And she'll also get to chew gum for twenty minutes while sitting up.  That's truly something to look forward to!  Aside from pain when she moves and stiffness, her biggest complaint is being thirsty.  If we are lucky and her tummy is cooperative, she may get to have ice chips tonight.  Keep your eyes crossed for her!
