Bonnie, I hope your daughter is not resistant to pain meds like my hubby was. I can't speak to the ICU situation, since my husband's surgery was cancelled (after the trach and PEG tube were put in). He had pain but they had given him 2 shots of demerol along with morphine and he was still wide awake communicating with me! Just keep telling the nurse she is in pain and they will do the best they can. Disappointed the doctor didn't come and talk to you but maybe there was an emergency he had to attend to. Suggestion: the painkillers didn't work well for my husband,, but they gave him Benadryl for allergies and that knocked him right out! Best of luck for you and your daughter. We are with you in spirit. Please remind her this temporary awfulness Will get better, just hang on!
