Day 2, 24-36 hours after surgery

It really is hard watching her be in so much pain.  It really helps you understand the Atonement and understand exactly why Jesus paid for our sins.

Well at about three thirty the PT (physical therapist) came in again and asked if she wanted to stand up and walk a little this time. Michaela was all to eager to get out of the bed. She easily sat herself up (a feat all in itself) then pulled herself onto the walker. She then proceeded to walk to the edge of the room and then walk backwards to her bed. After this she decided that she had done enough and sat down. They then had her sit up for about five minutes to help keep her lungs clear and give her a chance to be in a different position. It was easy to see that she enjoyed the change.


All day she has been throwing up, but this evening she was able to keep some food and liquid down which has stopped the nausea so far! Let's hope that continues becuase Kirk needs some rest!


For the majority of the day Kayla has been complaining of pain and rates it even with all the pain killers at 8-9 and sometimes a 10 out of 10. I feel so bad for her! Hopefully the night and tomorrow are better!!


Thanks again to all the prayers and thoughts that are for her, we can really see your faith in action.
