Day 2

We had our first night on the new floor and it was much nicer.  She slept most of the night after we figured out her pain management.  She still refuses to eat, but I will try her every few hours.  I hope to avoid a stomach tube if at all possible.  She is exhausted and just sleeps which I am very happy about.  I want to hold her non-stop, but her head is so heavy that she just is a bit more comfortable in her bed.  Our goal for today is for her to keep some food down and keep her elevated.  Her swelling has hit the peak and we should start seeing improvements.  The surgeons said we will not see the final results for up to 12 weeks.  Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers, they mean so much to us.
