I-Li is doing well. When she came back yesterday, her lips were totally chapped, and her eyes had a bunch of goop in them, and she was freezing. We got some chapstick for the lips and later on got to wipe her eyes. At around 10pm, she woke up and was really hot, so we modulated that. Around 11pm she was able to chew on an ice cube or two.
Sometime around midnight, she had a lot of pain in her shoulders and neck. I tried massaging, but it didn't help much. The nurse said that it was from the gas pressing against her ribs and whatnot. She got I-Li to lay more on her side and moved the heating pad to her chest.
At this point, around 6am, she is chowing on ice cubes. They've taken the morphine away. Her big problem is that she's really dizzy when she opens her eyes. They've offered meds, which she declines. Probably the best choice as they would most likely end up making her worse.

Hang in there, Jonathan, Lauren and I are keeping our focus of you all healthy and happy and bakin' cookies!
We love you... Mishma and se'buns.
BTW, there was a a minimum dosage of morphine that she did get over the course of the night. It was pretty minimal.
The other reason because she was really dizzy, and the morphine seemed to make that worse.
