Right at 9:00 last night she woke up from a deep sleep with quite a bit of pain. Thankfully, 9:00 was time for her Toradol, so the nurse got it in her quickly. She was resting again by 9:30 or so then asleep by 10:30...then slept until 4:45! The only time she would even slightly wake up was when I would wake her up to take deeper breaths when the alarm would go off for her respiratory rate dropping too low.
It's almost 6:am, she's had some Sprite and a chocolate chip cookie (thanks Kelly, Ryan, and girls!), and her pain level is about 2...looks like she's dozing back off to sleep.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers, and sweet comments - she enjoys it when I read them to her.
Praise to Jehovah Rapha!
He heals!
Oh Father, thank You that you indeed are Jehovah Rapha...our HEALER. Thank You that your mercies are new every morning, and that You will give Lauren great strength this morning, delivering her from pain and giveng her a wonderful day filled with hope and love and great joy. In Jesus Name.

Lauren, I'm so sorry you were in the pain you were and weren't able to sleep properly. But so grateful that it was time to receive your pain meds and they worked. I'll be praying for you often as you continue to heal and that the Lord will complete this with you in very minimal pain. Know you're loved and there are lots more praying for you than actually leave comments to you.
