Thank you to everyone for all their support. We are home today thank god for that. Her surgery went very well they went from T2 to L2 and she was in surgery for 8 hrs (longest 8 hrs of my life) She did not have any real complications. She did have trouble with her blood O2 but got that under control last night. She needed two units of blood during surgery and for anyone who knows my car issue will understand this comment they did not use my car crash blood LOL. It was a long week and she was in so much pain it was heart breaking, but I will say what a tough girl she did everything that was asked without complaint wow. At one point one of the Dr. was concerned with how much morphine she was using so she decided on her own to stop using not a good idea nurses and I kind of forced her to use it. Did not at any point have a fever but did and is still having trouble with BM also had severe nausea so happy the nausea stopped or should I say puking!!!! The plan was to go home today if she stopped puking, stayed off O2 and pooped well she did not poop, went all night with out O2 and went all day and night yesterday without puking then this morning her so smart mother gave her oj on and empty stomach and she puked right as the resident walked in the room she was so upset cause he said he was going to keep her one more day. The nurses and I both agreed she was good to go I could give emema if she does not poop so we called her surgeon and made a deal if she kept down breakfast and lunch she could go and she did. So happy to be home I stayed with her the whole time other then the hour a day for shower at home. Now recovery!!!!!!! I am so happy to be over the worst of this and for the record you were all right I was a reck but day of surgery was exteremly scary calm. Thanks again for helping me through this.
