Out of ICU

Sorry for the delay in posting today.

Kiara is out of ICU and in a regular room. She sat on the edge of her bed a couple of times since last night. She stood up for a few minutes around 1am. When I was there this morning, she actually ate a little (soda crackers, pudding, and 7up).

Her intolerance for painkillers continues. After most of the hard stuff made her nauseous, she settled for a couple of Tylenol. As was said in a previous hospital stay, she'd make a lousy junkie.

Thanks for the update - the emerging Italian old woman in me begins to worry fairly easily these days.

Bummer about the nausea - I recall my mom having similar painkiller issues. It's a good sign that Kiara's eaten something, though.

Kiara, at the rate you are going I won't be suprised to hear that you are cleaning your own hospital room tomorrow!!!
Is the Tylenol keeping the pain under control? Wow
Kelly, hope all is well on the home front. Will the girls be able to come and see Mom?

Yea for the continuing good news! Keep eating the bland stuff so that they will let you have some "real" food soon. ;-)
