A rougher time was bound to come, and this is what tonight has been. Jen's temperature spiked a bit--likely the result of moisture build-up in her lungs (very normal), her "spinal" anesthesia wore off, so some of the pain of surgery has started to set in, and when she successfully took a little walk out the door and back (doctors orders), that took a lot out of her. She was not feeling very well for a while.
But the docs prescribed a cocktail of Tylenol and Advil which knocked her out like we hadn't seen before. She slept very deeply and only woke up (soaked with sweat) when they came to check her vitals. She is now (yes, at 4AM) taking her first shower since surgery. I have a feeling more great sleep will follow.
