Post-Op: Day 2

From our estimation today the worst of the swelling was yesterday!

She is a lot more lively, using her words, eating, playing, singing, dancing and asking for a lot of peanut butter.  To those of you who know her: she is no where near her regular levels at these things, but she's back to her usual making lemonade out of lemons again.



Just this evening her swelling has gone down enough that she's learned she can lift her eyelids (with her fingers) and see.  Nothing has made her happier and smile more than to look around.  Stand by for the update on her upcoming eye infection. :)



As you can see she's in a wagon, we've been making trips around the hospital (mainly to the cafeteria) to air her out.  She loves the wagon.

We are all getting plenty of sleep too!

New news:
-Discharge is more probable for Monday.
-Once she's off an I.V. we'll leave the I.C.U. and have a private room.
-She should be able to start opening her eyes tomorrow (which she has been politely ask for, "Open eyes, please.")

  2. Chelsea is right; that doesn't look like our Anellah! But we love having the updates, and your analogy about her making lemonade out of lemons is great. Love you!
