Today was a better day, a much better day! Sadie still wasn't able to get to sleep last night, but the goods news is that she is feeling really good today. She has been battling some stomach issues since surgery and today is the first day she hasn't had a stomach ache. She also has an appetite today. In addition she is doing better with her pain... moving more and only complaining of a 4 (sometimes 5) on the pain scale.
Two things different:
1) New pain medication. I think this is what is helping her tummy, her appetite and maybe her pain; it is possible that he body just doesn't do well on the other medication.
2) She started her anti-inflammatory medications again today (these were held off for a week prior and a week after surgery due to the fact they can thin your blood). I am sure this is helping her pain quite a bit too!
Today was a much better day! Thank you for allowing me to be real about the ups and downs of watching our girl battle through the ups and downs of surgery. I appreciate the many of you who have lifted our girl up in prayer and encouraged us through this time. God is faithful and He always provides the strength needed for each day!
We are so happy that you are feeling so much better! It was great seeing you last weekend.
