Doing good still
02/07/09 09:00 Filed in: Jasmine
Thursday morning came and we had to run back up to Shriners to get the brace fitting done. This was really quick and easy, they only had to replace the straps on the brace. Then we came home and Jasmine spent the day relaxing on the couch and taking small cat naps, but Jasmine still wasn’t eating much.
Friday morning came and she slept till 9:30, not too big of a suprise but she still didn’t eat much and was complaining her tummy was upset. She also was alternating between being hot and cold which worried me that she was getting a temp. I took her temp and it was normal and looked at the dressing which was still clean and her skin wasn’t red around it. After eating 3 bites of cereal she went back to sleep. About noon I started to get worried that she really hadn’t eaten, was sleeping so much and that she was going between hot and cold so I called her doctor. He told me the signs of infection to watch for but to also take her off the percocet because all of this could also be caused by the drugs. She finally woke up about 1:30 and ate a piece of pizza. I gave her motrin instead of percocet which seemed to help. She said her back wasn’t hurting too bad and started playing webkinz with Nyah. Taking her off the percocet really ehlped she was grazing more then really eating, but at least she was getting food in her tummy. She also didn’t go back to sleep and did’t complain about being too hot or cold or that her tummy hurt anymore. So I think we’re out of the bad part and that she’s well on her way to recovery.
This morning she crawled into bed with me about 6am. Finally I got her to go back to sleep, but about 7:30 Nyah also crawled into bed with us. I wish I was able to take a picture on our queen size bed there was Nyah then me then Bella (with her head on Jasmine’s pillow) then Jasmine. I bet it was really cute! She’s eaten breakfast and is now playing with Nyah in her room and hasn’t even asked for any pain meds. I keep debating on if I should offer it but I figure if she’s hurting she’ll tell me and then I’ll give her some motrin. Really looks like she’s doing good and that she’ll definitely be going back to school on Monday! Now we all just need to keep our fingers crossed that her neck won’t keep rolling at the top and that the hooks will stay in place this time!
