Evie is doing really well.  She has her breathing tube out now and is only awake briefly.  She is still on pretty heavy meds for pain and they are trying to keep her blood pressure under control.  One of the nurses said she may be able to go to recovery room either late tomorrow night or Saturday, but probably Saturday.  They are just really watching her blood pressure right now and once they get it stabilized to the point of being able to give her the oral meds instead of intravenous then they can move her to a recovery room. The nurses reassured me that it doesn't mean she isn't doing well and that if she stays longer in the icu, that doesn't mean she won't leave around the same time.  We might have less recovery room days in the hospital.  Either Zach and/or I are always with her, while we take turns showering and eating.  She did wake up and while it was just me and looks like she is in a lot of pain.  It was beyond heart breaking.  If ever there was something that could have me switch places, I would do it in a heart beat.  Zach and are holding up as best we can.  Today, has been the roughest so far.  We will keep you posted, but please keep praying.
