I called to check on Isy and see how her night went. Her nurse said that she had a "pretty good" night. She's still quite short of breath and wasn't able to walk at 4am because of it. They are going to work on getting the 3 chest tubes out this morning and hopefully that will make her more comfortable. "She's a tough lady, she's trying hard. She is just off to a little bit of a slow start, and that's OK. Overall she is doing OK." I remember from my post-surgical days that post-op day 1 (today) is usually a harder day than the actual day of surgery. They will keep her busy with the coughing, deep breathing etc... and hope to accomplish the first walk some time this morning.
I will call and check in with them over my lunch break today so look for a post in the early afternoon. Have a good day everyone and thanks for checking in us! : )
