| Thank you to Billy's Dad, Bill for taking such good care of Jetty! |
Good Sunday morning and day four of Kenan’s road to recovery. Her night last night was not as calm as some previous nights. Around 1:00 am she started feeling bad, hurting, shortness of breath and pain. We called for Nurse Nancy and she came in to check her vital signs. All the vital signs were good. Nurse Nancy called the Dr. on call to check on Kenan. The doctor determined it may be a lack of pain medicine because Kenan had been asleep and not pushing her pain button or the fact that the incision is healing. As the incision is healing the give and take of her skin is getting tighter, thus causing her more discomfort.
The doctor gave her some extra pain medication and that seemed to quickly get Kenan comfortable again. Her night continued with the hourly check from the nurse. Blood was drawn at the usual 5:00 am and Kenan is hoping they will not come back later today for more blood.
Kenan is expecting many special visitors again today, but the doctor has limited those visits to 10 minutes per visit. So, please come and visit, but we will rotate in and out.
Kenan has orders from the doctor for today to: walk, drink, and eat solid liquids if she can tolerate them.
Kenan asked the doctor about a discharge date. He said it looked liked 2 or 3 more days. Kenan’s bottom lip immediately came out and stayed in the pouting position for a good 30 seconds. As expected, Kenan is anxious to break out of this joint!
Oh, the doctor asked Kenan if she would like a cup of coffee. Kenan thinks she would like coffee. She and her Dad are going to take another road trip/walk downstairs to the Starbucks Café.
