It's been low since recovery.. But they're trying. When she is awake she's moody. Gotta love the grumpy teenager..(: kills me seeing her like this but I know she's going to be okay..(: I love my grumpy girl more than ever! And she is going to get ice cream when she wakes up.. She's been out for about 4 hours straight now.. She's a trooper!(:

I had surgery last fall and it was hard to eat as I think the anesthetic fried my taste buds. My mom had made some tasty soup but it tasted really weird.

Well Kels hates hospital food..we've bright her what she likes and she never touched it. But after a little she will be up to eating. She looks soo cute snuggling with her dad. One bed and her brother, sister, and dad are all crashed out.

Zofran is a wonderful drug for post-op nausea, and it doesn't make you as out of it and loopy as Phenergan. If she's still having problems with the anesthesia it might be worth a shot to as her Dr's if she could have some of that. Glad she is making it through it all ok. LOL I think ice-cream is a wonderful pick me up when you feel crummy.

Well Kels is very sensitive to any type of medication. Anything that could make her sleepy will knock her out. She was awake for about 10 min just a few min ago. She threw up, then cried, and then made sure I posted for her...(typical teen). She never fails to make me laugh even when I'm too exhausted to. She's back out and my husband and children have went home... Just me and Kels left.. Thinking a long walk would do me some good.. Soo exhausted but to much on my mind. Thank you all for the thoughts today. Doctor said she should sleep the remainder of the night, and rather soundly too.(:

That's good news tht she'll get some rest tonight! I agree a walk is a good idea for you! The last thing the surgical nurse said before I checked out was "walk, it will help your recovery" so I took the dog for a walk that night and was like "please *don't* poop, I'll never pick it up!" but I was walking her like 4x/ day to keep things going and I think that it did help. Getting outside always helps me.

Well I guess they lied. Sha slept awful. Up an down all night. Moody as ever. She was in pain and felt sick. It was over all just rough. I had finally broke down cause I just needed too.. Finally at 6 this morning they gave her some pain and sleeping medication. Praying for a few solid hours of sleep.

Thanks for the update Kels Mom, so glad she's doing well. Kelsey's tuD family is thinking about her, and we're looking forward to hearing from her again. Hope you both got some rest last night.

Glad surgery went good. Hospital beds are so uncomfortable and plus being sore from the surgery and the nurses coming in every little bit is a great recipe for a bad nights sleep. Hope she starts improving today and may your family get some much needed rest.
