Well, the afternoon was slightly better than this morning, Shailyn was able to sit up long enough to paint while her Dad and Kaysie were here. Kaysie brought her a cream soda and she drank 83 ml (not quite 3 oz) of that which is the most she has drank at one time. We haven't been able to get many things down her today so she is still on her IV. We have been able to reduce her morphine and giver her some Tylenol to increase the amount of time between morphine doses. We don't dare give her Lortab yet because we don't need her to throw up and have to cut the wires holding her jaw closed. I am hoping tomorrow we can get her to eat / drink anything! I can't imagine how hungry she is... everything sounds good but it hurts to try and eat, even through the syringe. The good news of the day is we were able to get her off her oxygen so that is one less thing we need to worry about before she can go home.
She has been through so much, I admire her strength!
Lunch - Chicken nuggets through a syringe...
No wonder I can't get any food down her, just looking at them made my stomach turn!
