CCU Day 1 - 3:30 PM

Terrie had again been sedated when we returned for the Noon visitation time. The nurse had given her some pain medication and subsequently some anti-nausea medication. Terrie had experienced some nausea, but I don't think had thrown up. She was just afraid she was going to and wanted a container nearby. So, I don't know if the pain med was what sedated her or if they gave her something else to put her out to avoid the nausea. She would sorta wake up and respond if anyone said anything to her, but mostly she was out. Once the charge nurse came in and asked her how she felt and she whispered, "Sleepy." He said, "Well, take a nap, then!" She complied. The big plan for this afternoon is to get her to sit up either on the side of the bed or in a chair or both. I pray that this goes well because it will be a crucial step in her improvement. Our kids rotated through the Noon visiting time while the grandkids were enjoying a local McDonalds (is that redundant - local McDonald's?) I went over and had lunch with them later and put in a little Papa Charley time with the grandkids.
