Silent Scream

Just when I thought that Zayne would stay sleeping for the night, she starts to wake up.  She is screaming, but there is no sound due to the breathing tube down her throat.  She is trying to move about, but the restraints hold her arms down.  The nurses and docs tell me it is very normal.  However, it is freaky looking and seems more appropriate for a horror movie.  I wish the nurses would move faster to get her morphine.  Hopefully, the newly installed morphine drip will let her rest through the night. Speaking of rest, I will try to get some. Her room is a hubbub of activity.  

I will try to sleep, but wish I could lay next to Zayne.  She has too many lines, wires, and drains.  I’ll have to settle for the couch in her room that is in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
