First nite post op
We arrived back after dinner and short break to find LeeLee awake, very alert, chatting and doing so well I would dance if movement didn't make her dizzy and nauseated! She admits she doesn't remember the time immediately post op, but of course that is totally expected. Erin and Joy are spending tonite in the ICU with her, but she is doing so well it's probably more for us than LeeLee! Vital signs are on target. Morphine and Zofran are maintaining some pain and neasea control and she is able to sleep reasonably well. Her RN mentioned a bit ago that some of the tubes (not all) will be coming out at six in the AM. Per Dr orders and that she will be getting out of bed to sit in a chair tomorrow.....all great normal strides post op, but seem even more heroic following brain surgery to remove brain cancer. Now we have to wait to find out what kind of cancer (or confirm if it's breast cancer metastasis) by weeks end. Thanks to all for the comments, thoughts, hugs, and prayers we have been blessed with today! LeeLee has so many wonderful, giving, and selfless friends, many of which were here today either in person or spirit.
