Day Two Post Op

This 24 hours has been hard work. We had a really long night of waking to you in pain and resettling. Every time I would get you to sleep, the baby opposite us would wake up and scream or set off all her alarms and we would have to resettle all over again. You don't want to eat or drink and haven't had any wet nappies so they've hooked you up to some fluid to help re-hydrate you. 

You woke up later on this afternoon and had a sit in a specially designed seat, and had a tub of yoghurt which was fantastic! You then got tired and had a bit of a low oxygen moment so you're back in bed and snuggled up. Everytime you get moved your heart rate goes through the roof, so the nurses are giving you one off top ups of morphine as they turned your infusion down last night in the hope that you'd wake a bit more to feed.
