Lily Out of ICU

We are so pleased that Lily was able to move from ICU into a regular hospital room yesterday. It's a private room and, although we have to care for her almost full time now, it's better than the constant traffic coming and going in the ICU.

Lily is very uncomfortable and expresses that by spending a lot of her waking hours quietly crying in a very pathetic way. She is very agitated when a nurse or doctor enters her room. She gives them the "evil eye" which we translate into "What are you going to do to me now!"

Her discomfort is probably for a variety of reasons. She is certainly feeling the effects of her surgery, especially since she is no longer on morphine. Her tummy is trying to handle food again, and she's dealing with a lot of bubbles.

Thanks for checking in, and thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers.
