Well, the good news is that Viv is still morphine free. The bad news is that she isn't really feeling any better. Today ended up being nearly identical to yesterday. Viv is just very uncomfortable, and she clearly feels terrible. It's a full time job to get her to calm down, and it doesn't take her long to work herself back up again. All we can hope is that she is exhausted enough to sleep through most of the night.
The team is currently looking at Friday for discharge but noted that Viv will have to be in a good place before they will feel comfortable letting her go. I'm not very hopeful based on her current state. Maybe she'll turn the corner tomorrow, and we can get out of here. If not then we will be extending our stay until she improves.
It's been a very long couple of days, and we're emotionally and physically worn out. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for all three of us.
Poor little girl - she's taking on something adults struggle with. Thinking of you guys.
