Megan was given Toridal (sp.?) and it seemed to help a lot with the pain. They also gave her more i.v. fluids and that seemed to hop slow down her heart rate. Last night's nurses and today's nurses have been wonderful. They are skilled, very attentive and compassionate. If we can keep this streak going Megan should make a good recovery.
We learned this morning that Megan had TWO spleens! She had her spleen out a couple of years ago. When they removed the pancreas they found a small, working spleen behind it! It seems that every time Meg goes in for surgery they discover some other anomaly! How odd. As her mother I am probably responsible for this. Moms get all the blame don't they?! I never took any medications during pregnancy or labor and delivery- where are these things coming from?
This afternoon Megan was awake and alert for the first time. She is still in a lot of pain but it was good to see her back. She needed more pain meds and shortly after that she was sleeping again. The rest will help her heal, we hope.
They to take the tube out of her nose today or tomorrow and there's a good chance she'll be moved to the transplant floor tomorrow. Progress! She still has along hard job, but she's doing well at his point. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
