It's been a hard day for Mom. Rex spent the morning & part of the evening, I was there from 11-1, and Ryan, Stacy & Dylan from 5-8. She was running a low temp this morning, which broke after lunch. While I was there, PT got her up to stand and pivot to a bedside commode. She spent a rough 1/2 hour there. Very nauseous, dizzy & faint, as would be expected for the first time up a week after a big surgery. It was very hard to watch. She was so sick. Nurse gave her zofran for the nausea, and it took 3 nurses to get her back into bed because she had no strength to help at that point.
She moved to her new room about 4:30. Ryan said she was very quiet tonite, not wanting to talk, and back to fiddling with buttons and equipment. She vomited tonite too and said she was hot, so wondering if something new is going on. Time will tell.
Ryan said the nurse's station is right outside her door and they are very responsive. We're praying for good nurses because it's scary for us to picture her out of ICU, not having constant nursing attention. We're pretty discouraged tonite and hoping for a better day tomorrow.
A reminder if you are visiting...to not discuss Rex's cancer with her. She has not yet remembered, nor would she be able to comprehend or deal with it yet. I will post more about Rex after his oncologist appointment on Friday.
Please continue to pray for Randy's family.
