Ok so you will all be pleased to hear that Rhiana has farted. She has also walked a full lap around the nurses station. Her lung capacity has increased quite a lot too. Unfortunately Rhiana has some fairly hard things to get through still and we would appreciate your prayers. She is back on a catheter. It is almost exactly the same situation as the last surgery, they removed the catheter, Rhiana was unable to go, they re catheterised her to empty and then removed it, Rhiana was still unable to go, they catheterised her and left it in and now she has an infection down there. She is also struggling with her pain medication which is causing her to hallucinate seeing people in the room who are not there etc. Please please pray about her breathing. She is struggling to breath while she is asleep and it is horrible to watch. At its worst she only takes a breath when she is desperate for it and then she gasps for air. This often semi wakes her and she whimpers because she feels as if she is suffocating but then immediately stops breathing again. This could be due to the pain medication but they are also talking about this possibly being a lasting issue. It is also very painful still. She still has not eaten. On a positive note she has not had recurrence of the headaches that she had after the last surgery.
