Rachel had a rougher night. As the anesthesia has worn off, she has become more aware of the pain. She is complaining of significant headache, neck pain, back pain, nausea- all to be expected after the surgery. It’s all a part of the process, but painful to watch her endure nonetheless. She will get an MRI later this morning. The nurse tried to sit her up for a couple minutes this morning. They will try sitting her up again later today. She had some jello and applesauce this morning and was able to get up to use the restroom.

I can’t believe the progress after such a huge surgery... I mean this is essentially her second day and she was able to sit up and go to the bathroom. What?!? What an amazing fighter!

Hang in there, Rachel! This is likely the worst part of recovery; I would expect you to feel a lot better in 24-48 hours. You're making great progress! Continuing to pray for you!
