Niamh slept relatively well last night. She was on hourly checks throughout the night (blood pressure, heart rate, resp rate, temperature as well as alertness) so she was woken up a lot.
Today was ok, though a bit boring as Niamh had to stay lying down on her bed all day. She watched dvds and slept for most of the day. She got quite upset at one point when she tried to sit up and I told her she had to stay lying down for a bit longer. :(
Niamh has been on paracetamol and codeine since the surgery. We are now trying to see if she can cope with less painkillers.
She vomited this evening and the NG tube came out unfortunately. The nurses were great and she had a new tube within a very short time. She went straight to sleep after the ordeal.
They seem to be expecting her to feel a bit better tomorrow. Hopefully the consultant will say that we can start raising her up a bit.
