We made it through the first night!  She did really well until around 10pm.  Then we just had a couple minor issues.  She occasionally needed oxygen from 10pm until 7:30 this morning.  She also wasn't handling the pain med the best so they switched her pain meds around 2am.  She is much calmer on the new pain med.  She has been resting well so far this morning.  We had our consult with the physical therapist this morning regarding braces and x-rays of hips, legs and feet to look at bone structure.  Will update when I know more on those.  Going into post op, we were told she could vomit often the first 1-3 days.  So far, she has not vomited, so that is great!  However, she hasn't had any solid food yet so we will see how she does when she's allowed solids.  She is on a liquid diet at this point.  We are not able to hold her until Wednesday evening.  She just wants to be held and that is probably the hardest part as she doesn't understand why she can't be held.  She is on bed rest until around 5pm on Wednesday and they need to recline her bed at a 45 degree angle.
