Hospitals, deadlines, and meds....oh, my!

We are currently in the hospital waiting patiently for....well....poop.  Try not to be jealous ;).
Right out of anesthesia.

A thearpy dog came in to see her.

Moved to our new home for the night and hooked up to meds.
She's bored out of her mind.  This would be a dream for a child who loves TV but for one who could care less it is pretty dreaful to sit here and do nothing.  She did watch something about Tinkerbell, played some apps, and now she is listening to music on my phone.  She can only drink clear liquids and eat broth or jello.  She discovered she loved jello....and despises broth.  It's just not the same without chicken and noodles!  I managed to hide in the corner and eat a salad before I passed out from hunger!  I feel bad eating in front of her so I chose something she doesn't like in case I was caught.  We are still waiting on the "results" of the meds they are pumping into her through her NG tube, and from what I understand it is going to be a long night of "results" ;).  They say we will be discharged early tomorrow.

In other, less disgusting news, today is the deadline for homestudies to be turned in for the boy.  I am stalking my email dying for any word of what is happening.  I'll post something as soon as I hear but I'm not getting my hopes up that it will be soon.

I called the doctor today about her meds.  Since weaning off of the Cogentin she is urinating perfectly fine again.  We haven't had enough heat to know if her heat sensitivity is better but I have no doubt it is.  Since we reduced the Risperdal the drooling is well under control but I have a call into the doctor to ask what in the world we are going to do when she needs to increase her Risperdal again.
