Roller Coasters

I can't even begin to think of the last time I slept until lunch. What a crazy feeling. I definitely needed it, but what a waste of a beautiful day. I could have at least been doing something productive, like waiting for updates on Olivia's surgery! Just kidding. It's all worked out for the better anyway. The surgeon was in the operating room until about 1 in the morning with another patient and had to work on him again today, so we would have been bumped anyway. It's much easier to take when it's Olivia's doing as opposed to another patient's.
So far all of the cultures have not grown anything, which is a good sign. Final results won't be back until tomorrow night though. She hasn't spiked any high fevers today. I think the highest has been around 100. They have already taken her off the paralytic, turned off the epi drip, and gone down on some vent settings. They are trying to get her back to where she was before her little episode last night and see how things go. I can't imagine we would be able to go into surgery until next week, but we'll see what the surgeon has scheduled and what he thinks about all of this.
Besides all of this, sorry to make you all join us on this roller coaster ride. We know how it makes us feel sometimes, and it doesn't seem quite fair to take you all along for the ride, especially if you don't like roller coasters.
