From what Brian tells me, Suzie had a lot of ups and downs and had a lot of pain. Her epidural leaked and so it’s likely that she had inadequate pain control and she was both in pain and inconsolable, crying for mama.
Brian has been bearing through it all. When she’s comfortable, she has done ok with distractions and ate a bit and played with some play-doh and watched the iPad.
Her splints were removed and she was placed in her brace. This was supposed to have been done after surgery while she was still sedated but it ended up being too big so they had to adjust it and put it on today.
She’s now mostly on oral meds and I hope they can stay on top of her pain now.
Also, her hemoglobin and hematocrit dropped a lot from her surgery. We are waiting a day and rechecking tomorrow. If still low, she will get a blood transfusion.
Hoping for a better day tomorrow!
