Surgery +1

Jennifer is recovering on her first day after surgery. The first night was smooth for the most part with a very attentive nursing staff. Jennifer's vitals and outputs were monitored every 20-30 minutes and she was able to sleep in between. She was able to lie on her side for about an hour last night but was uncomfortable in that position. This morning she was moved around a bit more and was given her first physical therapy session where she was able to sit up in bed and rolled both directions as well as lift her legs.

The morphine PCA was making her nauseated toward early morning so she had a difficult time this morning while we were waiting for a change in medication. After switching to another drug she the nausea decreased and she was able to lie on her side in order to shift positions. When Jennifer's parents showed up this morning I was able to leave in order to take a nap and get a shower myself.
