Dawn is doing well.  Again she became restless this afternoon and doctors gave her something to relax.  She drifts in and out of sleep.  Sometimes she seems very alert and other times you can see the morphine working.  She looked very peaceful as she slept this afternoon and it made me feel at peace.  The doctors checked all of her dressings from the surgery and there is no infection.  Dr. O'Connor says he is not concerned that she is infected and that a rise in white blood cell count is nothing that we should be alarmed about.  So we can be at ease with this bit of information.  The doctor seems to think she is doing quite well.  I was greeted today with a full smile from Dawn's big white choppers- it absolutely made my day.  Shortly after this she was fast asleep.  It is the little things that remind you of Dawn's personality- a big smile, a raised eyebrow, and even a dirty look sometimes.  When you see these things come out you know that she is still Dawn.
