Post op day 1
The patient is doing quite well today, but after several calls to the house and being told by her caregivers that she's still sleeping, I had to go and see for myself. I blew into the house like a know it all nurse, dragged her out of bed, got her to eat a bowl of pasta and mashed bananas and drink a giant glass of soda. Then I washed her mouth for her and left the patient sitting up watching a little television. So much for a slow night for the staff. I think the codeine was a little more than she could manage and so all she did was sleep. Tonight she'll get the codeine before bed, but tomorrow it needs to stop. I wish all my patients were so sensitive to opiates.

I'm glad she's doing well. I was thinking about you yesterday and today.
Glad its turned out OK sometimes you just have to be mammabear.
So glad she's doing well. I'm sure it's a huge relief for you now that it's over!
I can't take codeine at all. It makes me sick. I am glad that your daughter's surgery is over. I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Glad to hear she is doing well. As a mom without a nursing degree and knowing how much I worry, I can only guess how many more possible scenarios must run through your mind.
May you both rest well tonight.
I was wondering how it went - glad all is well :)
P.S. You never know - I might really head up your way one of these days. In SUMMER.
I'm glad she's on the mend.
Every patient should have such a caring nurse. Maybe I could persuade you to move here? No, that would leave Detroit in the lurch.
So glad that the beautiful smile is back.
I hope she feels better every day. You are a good mommy!
Terrific.
Okay, now how's the other patient . . . Rudee?
Here's wishing your Rachel a speedy recovery. Had to catch up on a few missed posts. Was hoping your hands and wrists were better. I know you are a tough cookie. Keep on keeping on.
QMM
what an excellent mother--and nurse!--you are!
Off topic - your Steve Jobs quote at the side has resonated with me.... so much so that I quit my job and I am so happy. SO happy. Sewing, knitting, quilting, volunteering, friendship nurturing, here I come.
Glad to hear it! Oh how quickly the know-it-all nurse blows in. Too bad no one else thought about the importance of fluids and some food.
