Our 14th Anniversary

 

The day started out pretty crummy as Kaylee was still nauseous and in lots of pain. Upon Trevor's persistence, she finally was given oxycodone instead of Tylenol to help with the pain. The oxycodone decreased the pain to a 2/10 finally. During this time, she was able to walk approximately 500 ft with SBA-minA with PT. She walked very slowly and often with a hand on her head, as she was still in pain. She pretty much hated the whole thing, but it was good to see her up again. 

We prayed she wouldn't crash again, but unfortunately she had another bad night with neck pain returning. Since this was new, we had to page neurosurgery to make sure she wasn't hemorrhaging since that is our greatest fear. We also found blood in her urine, so they did a bladder scan and a urinalysis. Thankfully it ended up being that her period had started.

Kaylee is hardly eating or drinking. The pain is wearing her out. It is horrible seeing her in pain,

Trevor made me go for a walk and leave the room to relieve some stress. I didn't want to, but it ended up being a really good decision. It was my first time off the floor and was emotional. I ended up getting 15 minute complimentary chair massage, which was a great stress reducer.

Sam and Becki came up to the hospital today and brought Trevor and I sushi and strawberries for Kaylee, She downed them, which was encouraging as it is the only thing beside some peaches and fruit loops she has eaten. 

For dinner, Trevor went and got some cafeteria food and popcorn for us to celebrate our 14th anniversary. We ended up having broccoli salad and guacamole sandwiches. We sat near the window together and ate via cell phone flashlight due to Kaylee's sensitivity to light. We had a little laugh, about our "candlelight dinner" which felt good and was much needed.
