A good thing for post surgery and the first day was they gave her an epidural as I'm sure it did help with her pain, unfortunately that had to come out and move to different forms of pain management and the transition for Katy has been pretty rough so far today. Nurses are confident that as the day goes on and the new meds work into her system the pain will become more bearable. The pain and removal of the epidural has caused Katy's breathing to become a little labored and her heart rate to go up some, no cause for concern we're told just making for a rough day so far for her, the lack of sleep probably doesn't help either but they have to continue to monitor her through the night so she can't really get a lot of rest at one time. We'll see how the day progresses and hopefully we still get to take out the chest tube later to help with her breathing. I'll post another update this afternoon and hopefully she will feel up to visitors soon but right now she needs to rest and try to get a handle on the new meds and her breathing.
