Post op day 1

I forgot to mention a cute fact:  The first thing Reagan said when she woke up from surgery was, "Where is Katya?"  She loves her sister!  The rest of the day yesterday went pretty well.  After I got back from picking Katya up from the Godfrey's I could tell Reagan's leg was starting to bother her.  We gave her first dose of Vicodin at 12 noon and then q 4 hours after that.  The Vicodin made her a bit loopy and at one point last night I had a panic moment where I thought they may have prescribed her too large a dose.  I am not use to giving her much volume of medicine and her prescribtion was for 7.2ml.  Basicly her dose is the strength of half of an adult Vicodin pill.  That seems like so much!  I am so grateful to have an awesome Peds nurse next door who I feel comfortable bugging with questions:-)  I chatted with Jen on IM and she reasured me that the dose was fine.  It was great because this was at 9pm at night and I then did not have to worry about continuing the q 4hr dose through the night. 

Blue popsicle face.  Reagan was pretty sleepy all day and loved snuggling with a parent on the couch.

Reagan's leg and foot was pretty darn swollen and there was a lot of bloody drainage on the bandage. 
It is all to be expected but it sure looks nasty.  Poor baby!  We are keeping loose, comfy pants on her and as long as she doesn't see it, she is leaving the bandage alone.  We get to take the bandage off tomorrow afternoon.

Reagan was falling asleep on the couch with me about 5pm. Soon after I put her to bed and she was out like a light. We had to wake her up at 8, 12, and 4am for medicine. The 8pm wake up went the best, though the medicine is gross and she does not like taking it. She went right back down easily. At 12 she did not want to go back in the pack and play (I had her sleep in Elsie's room) so I layed down with her and slept very fitfully for a few hours. I was so worried she was going to roll off the bed, I woke up with every little movement she made. At 3am I was able to get her back in the pack and play. Craig was on for the 4am dose and it was rough. She finally went down in the crib a little after 6 and she slept until 9am. So far she is doing fine this morning. She has not wanted to walk yet and we will be taking it easy again today.
