Melisa has been wide awake most of the day today and is still very much waiting to be off of the ventilator! Currently she is getting no help breathing from the machine (yay!) but the tube is still in...the doctor said she has to be at "0" (no help) for at least 24 hours before they will take out the tube and she has only been at 0 since this morning. But one more day is nothing we cannot handle! Mel hasn't been in much pain and is actually in a lot less pain than she was prior to surgery...the mass that was removed from her abdomen had been pressing on her sciatic nerve which is what has been causing her such great amounts of pain over the past few weeks and months.
Melisa has great nurses taking care of her and seems to be pretty comfortable (considering the situation) every time we visit. If there are any changes before tomorrow I will post them later today
