We got moved up to ICP for the night (ICU but less intensive) and they're trying different things to manage the pain and keep her relaxed for the night. Sorry for the lack of update today. For the most part there won't be a lot of updates this weekend, we're just finding ways to manage pain and figuring out what will work best for while we are in here. As far as we know there's no plan to move Cassie any time before they come to adjust her cast on Monday afternoon #livingthechronicillnesslife
