Out of ICU

Ciara's now out of ICU and back on Our Lady's Ward. She's a bit croaky and groggy still but in good enough form. She's chatty now and then but is sleeping quite a bit. Epidural came out and she has a morphine feed at the moment.

We're slowly getting back to a normal Ciara-level amount of tubes going in. Normal being a tripple broviac straight in to her venous system. Our normals are definately abnormal. .

Earlier today they were concerned about her levels of pain and tension and were thinking she may be in for another night in ICU, but that was all sorted out once she managed to have a poo. Now I've been to the elephant enclosures at London, Dublin and Bronx Zoos, but I can tell you I've NEVER seen anything like this. No wonder she was in pain!
