Resting (not so) Comfortably in Bed



Selena finally overcame the ether (and no I don't mean the ethernet Cat 5 cables you use to connect your computer to the internet!) at 6:15pm. She was transfered to her room on the 7th floor at around 7pm. She was able to scoot herself over from the recovery bed to her room bed by herself! That is a really good sign. She was complaining of pain of an 8/10 but then finally got some morphine and the pain went down to a 5/10. She got nauseated from the morphine so she also got some Zofran. She is sleeping right now so I came home for a little while and Mum is up with her. Her color is good and she really came through the marathon surgery really well. I am really proud of her. Once again she proves:

"She is strong like bull."

"Nyet. She ees strong like Russian bear."

"BULL!"

"BEAR!"

"BULL!"

"BEAR!"

"WOMAN-BULL-BEAR!"

"Yes"

"Da"

Chris is strong like man!

Please give Selena big kisses and hugs (if she can stand it) from me. Should be a card for her in your mail today or tomorrow. Tell her she's in my heart and prayers (as are you). Love and peace and bright sunny days with sun and flowers and beautiful leaves with pretty little ladybugs. There is LIGHT at the end of the tunnel.
