4:00 a.m.
4:00 in the morning and we are up! I guess that happens when you sleep the whole day before! I was just glad that Rach slept from 11:00 to 4:00. I was so tired last night! The bed in here is SO uncomfortable, but hey, it is a bed and not just a chair! Rachel was such a bear last night! They said that anesthesia can make you irritable but it had never done that to her before. She had a lot more in her system from yesterday so that must have been what was going on. She was constantly shouting orders at me. It is so hard to watch her be so frustrated and uncomfortable and not really be able to do anything to help her. She has a cast the comes up passed her knee! She says that it is heavy and of course really annoying. She has been complaining the most about her groin area (right on her bikini line) where they took the skin graft. They had to take the skin on both sides. They just have some Gauss and small bandages on them but they are driving her crazy. Honestly, I am glad that we are in the hospital! It is a controlled environment and I can keep her away from dangers like my little two year old! Keep you posted!

Oh.. Niki.. What an ordeal! You've been through so much. Poor little Rachel. I've had you on my mind constantly. Try to sleep when she does -if they'll leave you alone- so you won't get too worn down. Wish I was there to give you both a great BIG hug. We keep you in your prayers and I'll put your names in the temple today.

Hi Niki, I'm so glad that you keep posting! I keep calling my mom and checking your blog for updates. I'm so glad to that Rachel is so tough! I heard that she was making demands the second she woke up! What a girl! You'll all get through this! Love you.
ReplyDeleteGosh - it seems like just when you think you are out of the woods - more conditions need to be met! We are praying over here that the lab tests will come up negative and that they were able to get it all out! Keep that great faith of yours until tests are read - and we will too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have all been on my mind a lot these last two days. I am so happy to hear that all went well in the surgery! I will pray and hope for a "negative" result. Rachel, you are a strong little girl! Utilize all the help that you can Nic, so you don't get too run down! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are posting. I didn't want to call. I know it's hard to take care of a little one in the hospital and talk. We love you all and are thinking of you guys all the time.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what you are going through. You are in our prayers always. Hopefully this will all be over soon! let me know if you need anything!!...What a strong sweet girl you have!
