Here is a picture of Mony taken yesterday after the surgery. By now, she has a different bed without the air mattress, the oxygen is no longer in, and she is wearing a beautiful green hospital dress. Ramona is attempting to rest this afternoon...as i write beside her. For some reason sleep does not come easy. She slept well from midnight until 2 a.m. but after that she spent more time awake than sleeping...Ramona had quite a bit of pain during the night...and the morphine wasn't quite cutting it...this pain was sort of in spurts though...Ramona's parents were really nice to me and told me to sleep (which means i slept through everything)...one thing I was right about though...Ramona said she would eat grapes the next day but I told her dad she would probably eat them at 3 or 4 in the morning...sure enough when i woke up she told me she ate 2 grapes during the night...i was quite proud....anyway...i don't think Ramona has slept since 6 this morning...as expected, the morning after a huge surgery is extremely rough. The pain from the nurses turning her over and stuff like that is unreal. Those of you who have had huge surgeries will understand. Part of the morning procedures, were taking a hip X-ray (to confirm everything is okay for physio)..............(some time passes as i leave my computer)....anyway...i deleted the picture i think....but the important thing is that Mony would like everyone to pray for the tinglyness in her leg, but especially her arm...we talked to Dr. Ferguson a few minutes ago and he thinks he stretched a nerve, he says he can guarantee he didn't sever a nerve...right now ramona has absolutely no power in her left arm to reach up...her hand movements are fine...just a certain nerve is stretched and her arm is floppy. Dr. Ferguson estimates it may be from a few days ..up to a few months for that nerve to heal...it will be very frustrating until it's healed...thanx for praying specifically about that.
