Night One Post-Op

6:30 am

It was a long night. All three of us got some sleep, but in between the sleep was rough. We have finally figured out that she needs morphine every 2 hours and valium every 4 in addition to the epidural in order to be comfortable. She screamed off and on for 10 minutes in the middle of the night while we waited for her morphine.

This morning she seems a little bit more like herself, but clearly in a lot of pain and having a lot of fear as the nurses continue to come in to do one thing or another. She has eaten several popsicles, which is a good sign.

Today is a new day and hopefully things will be better today than they were last night.
