Saturday Erica had slept most of the day. Well she slept unwillingly. They ended up having to sedate Erica as she was getting pretty up-set, probably for multiple reasons... Being unable to eat (they still kept her NPO [nothing by mouth]), having being aware that she had a tube down her throat forcing air, and she must have not been feeling well, as she was running a temp 39*
Sunday was a bit better, her temp was gone and she seemed to be less annoyed about the tube. She still got some sedation to keep her calm and sleepy but she wasn't completely knocked out to the point where we couldn't wake her.
We sat all day chilling out watching Erica sleep trying to prepare for the CT scan tomorrow. Towards the end of the afternoon Erica threw up, so we were able to hold her mid air so the nurse could change her sheets and then we had to set her back down. It was the hugest tease. There was nothing more I wanted to do then to cuddle and hold her again.
She was also pretty gunked up in her tube with loads of secretions being constantly suctioned out which we were told is normal with being intubated and having a heart condition.
