Through another day :)

I've read that the first three days in the Spica are the hardest. Probably on both the child and the carers.

Alex has been so stuffed full of drugs this last two days that now her little body spasms every time she starts to drift off and she wakes up with a jerk and a fright.
We have taken her off the IV morphine and she is just on IV fluids. If she can just get a good nights sleep she will feel much better.

She is comfortable and not in any pain.

I am feeling more confident managing the spica and moving her around. It is heavy though.

Once we get through this week I am sure we will get a routine going and the time will fly by.

She did manage a couple of smiles today too and wanted a cuddle from saskia which cheered things up.
