Lucy has been out of surgery for seversl hours. She is in the ICU for the night just to be safe. She has woken up several times complained about tube in her nose and everywhere else. She was crying and asked for a tissue to wipe her tears and did it herself. Was super thirsty and drank a whole cup of water. They took the tube out of her nose, CATH out, arterial line out, took pain meds orally, sleeping. She wakes periodically and talks but then goes back to sleep. When the Dr came in to check on her she was sleeping and he tried to wake her and get her to move her lips and eyebrows to make sure there was no nerve damage. He asked her if she would and she shook her head no with her eyes shut.

Just a few minutes ago she got up and sat on my lap so the nurse could change the sheets. She keeps trying to do things by herself, sit up move her head. I don’t know where she gets her independence from.

  3. Katie,

    What a day – we have been praying for her and you all, all day. Chuck Sr. was over here this am and we got the first report from him this afternoon that she was out in recovery and surgery went well. Praise God. We offered our Mass on this wonderful Solemnity for a speedy and very good recovery. She looks great for all she has been through today. Send our love and I hope you and Shanty can get some rest too. Thank you for the pictures..

    Paula and family
