Fay in ICU
Fay is out of surgery. The doctor said it went much better than he had hoped. The tumor was much larger than thought. The doctor said it was the size of a cantaloupe. We don't know how she managed to breath with most of her lung capacity on the right side was taken up with the tumor. She is in ICU right now. I would love to say she is settled in and resting, but she is not. The doctors had Fay on Methadone for 3 weeks. She had developed a tolerance to it and when I left they were having a really hard time helping Fay to get her pain under control. She was crying when I left. It is going to be a long night for she and Jared.

Julie,
Before I left the SICU tonight, The Pain Management Team approved increasing her pain meds. We could see a change in her face. She was less tense and was drifting off a little and seemed more relaxed. It's going to be a long night though. She was smiling in between doses of pain meds. But Fay has always been a trooper! Jared is so sweet as he cares for Fay. The nurse said she would page the pain team again if she needs an increased dose. Call me if you need anything at all! Love you!
