Shannon was moved out of the ICU this afternoon, and to a regular room on the 16th floor. Unfortunately, they had to stop her Precedex drip, and now her pain control is not as good. She still has IV toradol every 8 hrs and a morphine PCA. The nurse on the floor just told her this is one of the most painful surgeries a person can have. I am staying with her tonight (there's a couch on her room), and hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. At least her nausea has been minimal today.
On a good note, she already has regained some strength she had lost in her hands due to the chiari. Hopefully this is a good sign.
