I'm back at the hospital, and Graci looks SO good! She was so excited at 6:00pm when she finally got to take a drink. She's also had a little ice cream:) She's experiencing some pain, but I don't think it's too bad. They're still giving her morphine. It was cute when I came in -- she gave me the biggest smile. She continues to do well and we're hopeful she may be able to leave ICU tomorrow.
Graci's voice is really quite hilarious right now. She sounds like a little mouse or something. It's a higher-than-normal pitch and extremely weak. So her nurse just came in to check on her. Graci had been asleep, but when the nurse started checking the lines on her hand and arm, Graci woke up. Graci started saying, in her pathetic, whiny falsetto, "Owie!, owie!, owie!" The nurse said, "Are you hurting?" And Graci responded with a nonchalant, "Not really." We all cracked up. I guess she was just anticipating pain. What a cutie:)

ReplyDeleteMorning guys - thanks for all the updates yesterday - Brianna kept asking me to check on Graci for her and she feels better knowing how well things are progressing! And Jer - that's for the comment about 'missing the little miracles' - you're completely correct, the little mercies we recieve are the ones we REALLY need to be thankful for - and sleep depravation and I have become fast friends since last December (I'm kinda glad to know we're not the only ones!) But don't be a slug!
ReplyDeleteHugs for all you guys - Brianna sends a kiss for Graci's 'ouch' - and we all continue our prayers!
