Recovering

Lynnea spent the day recovering in the PICU. She will probably be moved out to the general floor tomorrow. She was taken off from the ventilator a couple hours after moving out of the OR up to the PICU. She is still on some oxygen support, but seems to be doing pretty well (she absolutely hates having the nasal cannula in again though). She's been pretty grumpy since she woke up from the anesthesia, but this isn't particularly surprising. This evening, she was feeling pretty spunky, and managed to ruin one of her peripheral IV's by kicking her legs so hard. She bled all over her blanket, but she's fine now. She still has her arterial line in, and her chest tube is still in. I believe the plan is to pull these sometime tomorrow. They have slowly re-started her G-tube feeding at a slow rate with unfortified breast milk. Hopefully she will manage to get some good rest overnight and have a good day tomorrow.
