Day 2

Grant and I were able to get a few hours of sleep tonight, popping in on Abby off and on. She still has a large chest tube draining extra fluid from her chest and a line in her neck and arm. She's on morphine and a mild sedative if she gets really uncomfortable as well as a number of meds but she is definitely kicking those legs when she isn't happy. In fact, she kicked out the iv in her foot. This was after I was able to give her her first bottle!! She downed 2.5 oz in about 3 minutes- I'd say the equivalent to a slider! We are on our way to that cheeseburger!! The nurse also said if things continue like thus there is a chance she will get moved out of the icu today. She is getting such great care I am not in a huge hurry for that to happen but it will mean she is doing great. Night one was a big success! I know.... Pictures coming soon.
