Post-op day #2 - lots of ups and downs today. Started off with smiles, peaches (her favorite) and lots of interactions. Unfortunately we didn't keep the peaches down. Mid-day brought her first physical therapy session, which she did GREAT through but was clearly challenging for her. We got her to sit up which was wonderful, but unfortunately triggered more vomiting. She felt better afterwards, but poor thing was pooped. We worried if the vomiting was from fluid accumulating in her head or simply nausea from all of the anesthesia and pain meds. The drain in her head is working well and she has no other neurologic signs so everyone is pretty sure it's a stomach issue. Poor thing is a little backed up too which doesn't help.
She was konked out most of the middle of the day but rallied for a strong finish, complete with pounding a go-gurt, taking (and keeping down!) all her meds in true Georgia fashion, playing with her Pooh book and Magna-Doodle and cuddling up to watch Kung Fo Panda. Strong work today baby!
Oh - and this was her good-night view from the hospital. A lovely Colorado sunset :)
