It seems that Chris was feeling better right after the surgery than he is now. I’m still shocked at the fact he did a post but I’m going to chalk a big part of that to the lingering anesthesia and pain meds. 🙂  He is resting now but had a rough night last. We think the pain meds are causing him to be nauseous so we’re making changes there and giving him some anti-nausea medication. Hopefully he will up walking around later today.
Piper on the other hand is making strides! She got her way and was able to get her arterial line and IV port both removed last night. (Sounds like very familiar behavior). She now can freely use both hands which she likes. She is also hungry which is a great sign!! Â I’m waiting to see what the doctors will let her eat. I did give her a tiny bit of egg white and bread earlier and she loved it! Eating is one way to help her get out of the ICU. I’m told that she should be able to move out of here tomorrow which would be nice.
Im sorry this post is short but I’m exhausted and falling asleep while typing. I will continue to update until chris is able. Continued love and tanks for well wishes, thoughts and prayers.
Love, Erin

Thank you for the update. We’ve been anxiously waiting for this great report. Chris – in a few days you’ll feel so much better; hang in there. You’re both remarkable. As for Piper…she’s got it all figured out…just keep moving forward!!
