Update on Momma D
First, Matt passed the recital...YEAH! Diane came through the surgery with flying colors, she was doing well, in some pain, but everything was being handled through TONS of IVs. She slept well last night and was ready to go this morning, getting up for a walk shortly after we got there and planning on a day of Jell-o and other clear liquids. I headed down to work to test my patient and then went back up. Problem was, the upswing had stopped, she had been feeling pretty nauseous after trying to eat and got sick on her clothes and the bed. Bring on the phenergen, which made her sleep. The good part was the catheter was removed so that increased her comfort, but the rest has stagnated. She hasn't been able to get up and walk, save going to the bathroom, which is still progress, but the phenergen didn't work long enough causing other anti-nausea meds to be brought on board, and her fever from last night came back. On a positive note, her white blood count went back to normal (9,500). Now we just need the nausea to stop.
