Niamh had a good night sleep last night despite the noise on the Ward and the regular obs. After a brain surgery, they have obs every 30 minutes for the first four hours, then every hour for the next four hours, then every two hours, etc. We are now on four hourly obs so a lot less disruptive.
Niamh's recovery today has been impressive. I couldn't keep her lying down for long, she was all sat up by 8am ready to be entertained. She has been cheeky, cuddly, playful for most of the day. I even gave in and let her do some standing towards the end of the day. The surgeons have said it is fine for her to sit up/ stand, etc but not to overdo it on the first day.
She is back on her usual feed and so far no signs of feeling sick. Let's hope it continues like this.
Her main problem today has been the bandage on her head, it seems to make her forehead very itchy.
The surgeons have said that she may be discharged tomorrow which would be great as Niamh is already ready to come home.
