She is startling a lot. She isn't awake at all, just very agitated. Must be in a lot of pain, though she is on continuous morphine. There will be checks on her at least every hour and we will monitor pain and breathing throughout the night. At this point, we are just so happy to be with her.
10.17.17 Spine Surgery 4
We are finally with Aimee in the ICU. It is so good to finally see her. She has been extubated to a vent with oxygen, which is on the same settings as her home bipap currently. She has sad sores, particularly from the arterial line in her wrist. They pulled the line and put on a pressure bandage to cover the artery, but the bruising is so horrible. She also has skin breakdown in other areas from laying on her front for so long.
