Day 51- Day after surgery

I wasnt exactly sure how Kennedy would handle the following days after surgery

Let me tell you kids are bionic I think!

The first night she was home 4 hours later she was up walking around and doing ok

They gave her a narcotics presc but the pain wasnt bad enough to give her any, plus I think thats what was making her throw up on the way home

So we just gave her some Advil before bed and figured we would see how the night went

If she woke up crying I'd give her something more

This kid slept for 12 hours straight! 

Didnt wake up once and was great

She ALSO woke up with a dry pull up woo woo!

Of course she was really sore still

I had to help her get in and out of bed and walk slowly with her

She had some dry cereal and juice in bed while she watched movies

Shes surrounded by her surgery presents

Brave doll from Grandma JaNeale

Puppy from Grandma and Grandpa Barton

Cinderella Barbie from Grandma Jana and Grandpa Todd

We cuddled

Great Grandma Kathy and Great Grandpa Roy came over to visit

They were FLOORED that she was eating breakfast, up walking around and doing so well

She was adamant about trying everything by herself

She told me mom I want to try and get up out of the chair on my own

I want to try and walk up the stairs by myself

I was paranoid and wouldnt let her go up or down the stairs with out me there right next to her

She felt good enough by the afternoon and was getting kind of bored so we fixed a cake

A get better cake

She had missed preschool and a field trip and was kind of bummed

So we did a color lesson

Heres her cake ready to bake!

No recovery day is complete with out taknig a nap on the couch with Daddy

You can see the coloring books and sticker books and princess crayons Roy and Kathy brought her

Here is her little incision the day after

We took off the big bandaid to get some air on it and I wanted to make sure it was closed up good and there were no lumps or pockets or anything forming
