Early this morning the surgical team came in and said from a surgical standpoint Raylee is doing well. They felt her tummy and left...then Raylee started throwing up again right after they closed her door. The techs came in and cleaned her and her bed up. I am not sure why she is vomiting. The charge nurse said the pain med she is on, Oxycodone, can cause nausea especially since her tummy was empty all night. She had just had Oxycodone before she threw up. They were able to give her a dose of Zofran.....which is her Chemo antinausea med....feels like we are going through a Chemo treatment this morning :( Raylee didn't have the best night. They had to flush her catheder because it wasn't working properly and hook her fluids up again. We are also back to the Morphine. I was hoping she might be able to go home today but now I don't think that is possible.
Raylee is starting to lose her eyelashes and eyebrows. It's amazing how these features really bring out a persons face and personality. She just looks different with them thinning. She is still super cute! The nurses just love her especially when they have to do something like check her blood pressure and she says 'thank you' after they are finished. Everyone tells her she is cute....her oncologist calls her 'Gourgeous.' I hope it makes Raylee feel good.
Introducing Raylee and Jorja.....sisters! Raylee is our cancer baby and Jorja is her sister's keeper.
She is going through a few post surgery bumps, it sounds like. She is being held in the hollows of his hands. I know that the Savior knows what is taking place and has suffered these pains for Raylee and she will not be going through more than she is able to bare. There are so many prayers that are being offered in her behalf and they will be answered as she slowly heals and as her grandpa said "becomes the little monster that she should be". I know what it is like to lose your eyebrows and eyelashes, but they will soon grow back even better than they were before. There are Angels amoung us and Raylee is one of them. I know that as hard as this is it is happening to us for a reason and is drawing us closer to our Father in Heaven. I Love You All (Uncle Mike)
