Day 2 post-op

Kendra has had a pretty rough night.  I will try to remember everything.  She sat up on the side of the bed once, and walked with 90-95% assistance to the bathroom but needed carried back.  I was hitting her pump in advance but seemed not to offer alot of relief.  She does not like the idea of having a diaper on and wants her panties (one of the first things she asked for when she woke up). But they removed her cath.  As of midnight she had not urinated and they did a straight cath which she hated, but it relieved her.  They are saying her kidneys are working fine it is just from the pain medication and anisthesia that her bladder is not releaseing as it should.  Her bowels are working fine with no issues.  They have put her on medication to help with this but we are still waiting.  About 930am they decided to insert a regular cath again and she peed everywhere!  But til now there has been no more so its just a waiting game as to what they will do there.She has been up walking to the bathroom today with the same assistance as last night but not as much crying from her while doing it or sitting on the potty or toilet.   All of her iv fluids are removed but we still have the ivport for her antibiotic.  It is a large one in her right hand and is only functioning for intake and will not draw so we had to draw labs manually.  We casted her for her brace and I had big discussion with them about how the last one disabled her.  They have assured me that this one will be different, lighter and easier on her.  Kendra had to go down to xray so Kiristen got to pick out the design of purple butterflies for her (they only had pink in camo...).  We are still waiting on PT as the order somehow got misplaced..........  We allowed her to get a good nap with the way her night and morning went and then we are putting her in a chair and takeing her out of the room for a stroll.  I will take pics and post them tomorrow.  Dr Jayne was in and was very pleased with her progress, and feels we will see more mobility and cooperation from her tonight and tomorrow.  She is still trying to be little "jaws", but if it were me in that kinda pain I probably would be too!!  Hopefully the internet will be working in the room tonight and I will add more.  Thanks again and huggs and kisses from Kendra
