Yesterday was a pretty good day, all things considered. Chris was awake for substantial lengths of time and ate some at each mealtime. She is getting some heavy duty pain meds and it makes her a little loopy so she says some funny things. Laura pointed that even when people are poking and prodding her she is always thanking them and is grateful for whatever they are doing. A lesson by example for us.
She had stronger than normal headaches from 3-6 am and was restless and exhausted when I arrived this morning. She has since settled down and had breakfast seems more comfortable.
I can't get over the constant parade of people through her room. The respiratory therapist, cleaners, drawing blood for lab test, checking blood sugar levels, hanging new IV bags, and on and on. The Dr's were just in for their daily evaluation. They say she is doing good and is where they'd hope and expect her to be. That's good. She's now getting the vasospasm test, and here comes lunch!
The nursing staff is wonderful. One nurse is assigned to two rooms and I think it's kind of a random draw as to who gets which rooms each day. We've been fortunate to have Ashley as the day nurse for the last three days and she is Awesome, so we hope to see more of her, but every one of them has been wonderful.
No vasospasm today - GREAT. Gotta go and see if I can can share her dessert.
