I was at the hospital this morning and Aislyn was starting to come out of it. She was waking more frequently for longer periods of time. When I say longer periods of time, I mean 30-40 seconds rather than the 4-5 seconds last night. She tries to move a little, but you can tell it causes her a lot of pain. Then she starts to cry, but she really can't because her mouth and throat are so dry and rough from not having anything to drink for the last 36 hours. Her surgeon met with us this morning and and reaffirmed how pleased he was with the surgery. He wants Kim to start holding her today rather than just let her lay flat all day. That will help her intestines shift around a bit and start moving again since they have been idle since the surgery. He also said today would probably be the worst for pain since all the anesthesia would be wearing off. To help control the pain, they are pumping morphine into her every 3-4 hours. You can see Aislyn go from all tensed up to limp once the morphine hits her system. Thanks to God for great medication!
