She's managing well by taking mild pain meds on and off, but we're keeping up the anti-nausea drugs to keep her stomach settled as best we can. After a good night's rest, I'm hoping she continues the upward trend tomorrow.

13 Jan - Update
Spending 2nd night with Sarah in the ICU. She's doing very well according to the docs. However, she's still really worn out from the surgery and is spending most of her time sleeping. The staff got her to get out of bed and sit in her chair for a while (which she was not excited about at all). That is supposed to keep fluid from building up in your lungs and keep you from getting bed sores. She managed it fine but it made her throw up once - apparently that also is not uncommon for the 1st time out of bed after surgery like this.
