Tues 6:40 AM

Bev came through the night OK.  There were so many delays in the operating room schedule that it was close to 11 PM before she got back to her room.  The operation was not supposed to take more than 5 hours. Bev had all the fractures in her leg and both arms fixed.  Going through metal detectors at the airport will be more of a challenge in the future.  Bev also had the tracheal tube inserted for breathing . She is sedated right now so she is not responding to voice commands. She still has the tube in her head but if she is stable enough that will come out today. Bev had trouble with the circulation in both legs during the night but the nurse said that problem is under control this morning. The nurse also said the colour in Bev's face and her breathing have both improved since the tubes in her mouth have been removed. All vital signs are stable.  We will visit at 9:30.
