2nd Day with New Heart – Early Morning

It was wonderful to have a lucid conversation with Zayne at 4 am when she was feeling good.  She wanted to get out of bed and go for a walk.  She still looks like The Borg with her wires and tubes coming out of her body (especially the large, central line in her neck).  We were going to swap going downstairs for a chair in her room, but the nurse did not want to attemp without giving her some Tylenol and Oxy.  After bargening iPad time in exchange for taking medicine, she promptly fell asleep.  Zayne started out by asking for 31,000 movies, but I managed to convince her to take 1 short movie and some learning games.  I am not looking foward to having to give her multiple drugs every day.  Right now, all the blood draws (multiple each day) and most of the meds are easy, because they are just done through her existing lines and IV.

      Yes, I got a lot more sleep last night. She is no longer lucid – the oxycodone is working.

    Good to hear she was feeling feisty enough to negotiate with you!
