This has been a long day. Judith is more awake and aware than ever, but that comes with a cost. She has quite a bit of pain. The good news is that she is on the pain pump and they are giving her Vicodin. The bad news is that she needs to cough up a great deal of gunk. Coughing is good, but coughing is very bad.
She hasn't eaten more than a spoonful or two of broth and Italian ice. They just kicked me out for shift change, but they were about to bring her some more broth and she thought that she could have some. She doesn't speak much above a whisper yet.
She's finally down to just two IVs. I don't even know how many lines she had in when I first saw her. She's still getting about a dozen meds.
