New shift of nurses, totally different environment. They must have been short a head nurse last shift. The nurses are on top of her pain meds, she has been to the bathroom two times. She is much more coherent. Dr. Hoh came by and said tomorrow he may take the drain tubes out. I know they are a major source of pain. When I ask her to show me where the pain is she points to the tubes. He said she is doing everything according to schedule and he expects a Fri or Sat discharge. He spoke to the nurses about managing her pain and getting exercise tomorrow. I feel so much better when there are caring nurses who are aware of who Holly is and what her needs are. Good night. Thank you all for your love, God bless.

Hang in there Cort. Sounds like things are better than earlier. You need to inform those nurses that Holly has had natural births and home births...maybe that will give them a different perspective of who Holly really is???
Every time I read your entries I get teary eyed. I wish I could help in some way. Please let me know if I can. I know you are somewhat relieved yet highly stressed. You are a great husband and you two will get through this rough recovery time! We love you both and are thinking of you!
Hope you can get some sleep tonight! I look forward to hearing about about more trips to the potty and whatever else Holly has up her sleeve!!

I am glad to hear that Holly is doing so well. I called Ann yesterday but was not able to get her....she did call me back and left me a message filling me in on Holly's condition. I will be checking this blog everyday. I will also remember you all in my prayers.
