Post Op: Day 4

When I arrived at the hospital around 8am this morning, Anellah was still asleep. Evidently she had slept all night! It was so good to see her sleeping in her usual position- bum in the air- rather than how she'd been sleeping- on her back propped up with pillows.

When she did wake up she was fussy but after some oatmeal, a diaper change, and some pain medicine she was a happy camper.

We went for a wagon ride and she was THRILLED that we found a playground and I let her gently go down the slide.

We moved to a room today out of the ICU. Now we have access to a bathroom, we can talk on our cell phones, eat/drink, and turn around without squeezing past something (even with a pregnant belly!) It's basically like sharing a hotel room with a stranger. :)

According to our surgeon's colleague who is checking his patients over the weekend- we might get to go home tomorrow! He also took off Anellah's "hat" to reveal some nasty matted hair! But the incision is healing well (see photo below if you dare!)

Thank you again for your prayers, support, and visits/food deliveries! It sure beats paying for cafeteria food all the time.
