We are happy that Lucy is settling into her routine for this session in the hospital.
The weather has been encouraging, and Lucy likes going down into the children's garden for a quick walk. She is so independent that she won't allow certain people to push the pole for her.
The nurse commented that there were a few flower petals stuck to her pole when we got back from her walk. I like that image...
She has had no further drainage since her surgery on Tuesday. This is as expected since the lumbar drain has been replaced.
Fortunately, she is having very few headaches which are controlled with ibuprofen and the occasional dose of tylenol+codeine.
We are expecting at least 10 days with the drain in, so that the repacked surgical site inside her nose will have the most time to heal.
Lucy has shown some artistic vigor - maternal traits for sure. She has been drawing and dazzling the staff with her amazing detailed clay projects.
Hang in there, Lucy! Here's hoping the weather holds so you can go for more walks in the garden
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see Lucy up and walking around! She is quite the trooper! Keeping fingers crossed for no leaks!

Happy to hear that she's having fewer headaches. I hope it stays that way for the remainder of the stay. We are continuing to pray for you all.
