Thank God today was a better day. We go through routine, Alex takes her for testing of BP, vitals and Temperature and we are told she has slight fever of 37.4 she is given calpol and later stabilizes to 36 during the day.
We all have breakfast and alex had asked for sandwich wah..poor boy it was not nice at all white bread and bolied egg spilt carelessly and placed into the sliced bread,..no salt though..We enjoyed the cornflakes, Sam likes tea which we add lots of milk.
Did I mention we need to give her fluids upto 460ML..today we are lagging behind but trying our best. Sama has been really sweating when she sleeps, its not a big deal for this guys they tell us not to cover her..(by the way coz of heat we only have 2 sheets on the bed) and to put aircon. Did I say how tired we are of hospital. Doctor came to check her,,says she is good, need to remove stitches, do ECG, ECHO and Xray then we shall be ready to go home.
We go down for wound dressing, Samara really cries through the process..the nurses do not allow us to stay in and that upsets her more and she cries and cries, what to do..even doing temperature and BP she cries, the trauma is bad..but at least today she said bye to them..before surgery she used to smile, wave and say thank you and bye..after surgery once we enter third floor she goes mute until we get back to the room..she doesn’t talk to anyone even those in the corridor. People here really give chocolates Sam has got quite a number..they walk around with them so far she has received three.
She slept a lot today in the morning and in the afternoon which is food for her as she needs rest but she is s back to normal only some discomfort when she is held in a certain position. Alex went to add for us some groceries and I took a nap with Samara.
Guess routine here is 6.30a.m. –temperature, BP, Vitals, 8a.m. medicine, 10a.m. Same measurements for temp.BP, Vitals etc..2p.m. medicine and temperature and vitals..at 4 p.m. the same..of course doctors walk in anytime…evening 8.p.m. medicine and 10p.m. Vitals check…ha ha that’s our life now. The dinner for me wasn’t all that and it made me feel so home sick. I prepared for myself cornflakes and I was on verge of tears. Anyways later took Samara for check up then came to room to sleep.
