Post Op Day 5

Last night was another hard night. Poor Mylah was taken off of the Precedex which relaxes her and it was a pretty quick process so she had a sort of rebound/withdrawal from it and was wide awake for seven to eight hours straight.

She was so tired and upset and in a little pain so her nurse gave her morphine. That helped her a little, but we didn't get much sleep.

We also spent most of the night trying to get her to eat. She wasn't wanting to do that either. It was another horrible night.

This morning she was able to have her chest tube removed that was a big step forward. But, she still hasn't eaten much! We are hoping she will soon because if not they will have to pit her IV back in. She has everything removed yesterday and it was a step closer to returning home. But not eating can set her back.



We have had numerous visitors, including family and friends. Mylah had a special one today...a heart friend named Jenni.

Jenni has had numerous heart surgeries and stayed in the very room we are in! She has since grown onto a beautiful young lady and its a treat to have her stop by!



Though Mylah still has some feeding.issues to figure out, we hope we can come home soon!

Thank you again for the love, prayers and thoughts!
