Amanda has been doing good, she’s getting better and better. She’s been up moving and doing more on her own. Well it took a while and a lot of calls but we were finally able to get the pacemaker interrogated. We didn’t have to go to San Antonio but we’re able to have it done in…

Amanda’s getting better and better everyday. She waking and getting up and around more and more each day. Her shoulder has been hurting her lately to the point where it’s more painful than her surgical site. It hasn’t been as bad today though.  We never did get ahold of the Medtronic rep. I called the…

No big news today Amanda’s doing good still in pain though. Yesterday we tried cutting one of the pain meds down to 1 pill instead of 2 but that just didn’t end up working. I ended up giving her 1 and a half for today. She seems to do better on that for now.Our primary…

Amanda is doing much better today. She’s still weak though, still needing help up and down. Today I had to wean her, she needs to be doing a little more so she can build her strength back up. That hasn’t made me very popular today! The last few times she got in and out of…

Just before our food came I changed the bandage on Amanda’s chest tube incision. It was pretty painful for her the tape was stuck to her skin. She is allergic to most adhesives, it tends to leave small blister on her skin. This is that much worse when one bandage comes off and right back…

Well we’re not out yet, close though! So Amanda’s is doing good but yesterday evening she started hurting because the nurse didn’t get her pain meds on time. I called the nurse to request the pain meds, she was at lunch and said she would send someone. She forgot and showed up about an hour…

For those of you that read the last post just after it was loaded, I’m sorry. I was in a hurry didn’t proof read and autocorrect killed me! Dr. Nair never did drop by last night. When we first began to see him we started off not liking him very much. Not very very good…

Last night went well. They gave Amanda the Dilaudid around 10 or so, she was chatterbox again then lights out. Surprisingly they left us alone from 10 until 4 when Amanda needed pain medicine. They have the toradol on 4 times a day not every 6 hours. So she is scheduled to get that at 9am,…

Early morning visit  I rolled out of bed and straight to the hospital this morning. Pulled up to the front entrance, parked first out in the drop off lane, figured I was dropping off yall’s love so I’d be good. Then straight to the recovery area hallway till it was time to go back. Hospitals…
