It's 4:30 and she is snoozing. With a rolled up blanket under her bottom to keep her from sliding in the bed, she is propped up on her back. She has a tongue stitch that is taped to her chin to keep her tongue from the back of her mouth and her lower lip down. An IV is in one foot and the memorable red glow of the monitor is on her other foot. She is wearing No-Nos on her arms so that her hands can not reach her mouth. She'll not drink anything until tomorrow. It took two of us to hold her head still for ear drops. It upset her greatly, but when she was left alone she drifted right off to a good sleep. She gets pain meds as needed and is in a private room so both her dad and mom can spend the night with her.
