Trying to get out of CICU

She is doing ok. Sore of course. Going to get her to start breathing in the spirometer to help open up her lungs so she can go to the floor. She slept off an on all night as well as me. Horrible chair! Shane just texted and said Beau puked all over in his car seat and he took care of it like many dads would with the outside hose. I will be switching him places later today.

She will have to stay in the CICU for another night. She got to much fluid and is not peeing it all off so is swollen. And has to much water around her lungs and heart. So more diuretics coming. I think the nurse stopped the diuretics last night thinking her fluid out take was high (which it was) but I think it was high because of the lymph draining. Now a lot of the healing and getting better is on how much she will push herself. Time for mom to stop sitting by and watching and turn on the lights, tv and make her wake up and move around. To say I have many friends and know many people here is an understatement. The lunch lady thinks I work here and I've had 3 doctors, 4 nurses and a few social workers and one assistant stock me down to say "hello" and many moms that I know are here often like me.

Her hand is super swollen from Edema (water retention), the blanket was given to her by Childlife, and the door is the one I go in and out of continuously throughout the day. I love how it is named after her first surgeon Dr. Hawkins
