Rachel had an okay day today - she was a little uncomfortable while I was there and kept falling in her stats, but once they put her on her tummy and also gave her the medication they started today to help her lungs with the ventilator she started doing better.

Her pressure on the ventilator was turned down from 6 down to 5. Which is a step in the right direction. She did open her eyes for a bit today although it was mainly because the pain medication wore off and she was in pain.......they did give her more, but she was still pretty aggitated and kept moving and kicking. I would be too if people kept bugging me after surgery! Poor thing, but she is recovering and is taking it like a champ! And really the nurses are just trying to keep her comfy and help her out! :)

She will have more visitors tomorrow. Leah and Mike are coming up to visit and meet her for the first time.....I told her she needed to behave for her night nurse tonight and rest so she is happy for tomorrow! Here are some pictures from yesterday's visit - they show her incision from her surgery.

Enjoy -
