First Night/Morning

A bit of a rough night, she had to have a few breathing treatments and nurses coming and going which is to be expected, she started coughing alot (also expected) as her lungs are working to clear themselves out and it causes some discomfort and anxiety. They got her up into a chair last night and again this morning and she has done well with that but after moving there is obviously a good deal of pain. It can be a helpless feeling sometimes as all I want to do is take her pain away and I can't and the feeling is worse then I could imagine, but I know she is being given such great care by the staff here and between that and the meds I know she is being kept as comfortable as can be. We really are blessed to have everything worked out the way it has to end up at this hospital with this amazing staff and our friend Allison (one of the cardiac recovery nurses, we love you!!). Katy has been such a trooper through this and I'm so proud of her, we know this is all for the best and we are on the right path still. Later this morning they will get her up to walk a little bit and see how she handles that it's important they start these kinds of rehab this early as it really helps the healing process and make sure things are working as they should, it will help her state of mind as well to move around. Thank you again for all the well wishes, hopefully this weekend we will open up for visitors I will keep you all posted.
