November 23 - Again

Doctors came in, woke her up, and screwed one screw back into her gum on the top of her mouth.  It was very painful and hard to watch.  The other one that totally came off on the other side, they will try to put back on later after she calms down. Her swelling is way down.  She looks much better.

She has been hallucinating and telling me some pretty awful things.  She thinks her Dad died and I'm lying to her, when I tell her he is fine.  She's worried someone close to her is hurt.  She told me she woke up during her surgery and they were sawing her teeth off.  She says there was blood everywhere, and she heard the doctors talking.  Later she told me they want her to go in a room and she won't ever come back if she goes with them.  She says she's afraid to go to sleep because she doesn't think she'll wake up.

I spoke to the doctor, he thinks it is the morphine.  Hopefully, when all the medication wears off, she'll forget everything.  They think it is her imagination, and what she thought would happen to her.

Doctor just came back.  She won't bug Chloe with the other screw for a couple weeks - thank god!  I spoke to her about what Chloe said.  Of course she said she's never heard of that before.  She says her eyes were literally sewn shut, so she knows she didn't see anything.  She thinks it's the medication mixed with her smart imagination.  She said there was a loud saw, and she probably did hear talking.

Our goal is for Chloe to drink broth and a milk shake in the next few hours.  Hopefully, we'll move out of  the ICU tomorrow.  She has to wake up more, drink, take out the catheter, and get off IV pain meds before we can leave the hospital.

Grandpa's already bugging me about seeing her already.
