CCU Day 1 - 11:30 PM

By the final visitation of the day, Terrie was doing well for her first day after surgery. In the afternoon, the nurses got her up and had her sitting in a chair for about an hour and a half. She had a very small dosage of morphine and another non-narcotic pain med - and she did just fine. So far no nausea! Praise God! Let's keep asking Him for that blessing during her recovery period. Tomorrow will be a difficult day because they plan to get her up 3 times. Not only will she be doing the chair thing, but they would like to get her to walk a little as well. Possibly, by Friday, she will be moved to the Cardiac Step-Down Unit. All that moving around will require her to have pain medication, so we need the Lord to bless her with an absence of nausea. Also, they plan to serve her some kind of breakfast tomorrow morning. It may be merely jello, but still it will be something new in her stomach. We just don't want it coming back up after it's down there. I'm heading for some shut-eye right now. More tomorrow.
