The doctor came in at 7 this morning and said that the incision looks excellent and that she is healing nicely. I asked him when she might be able to go home and he said that tomorrow would be a reasonable goal. Part of me is so excited to take her home and part of me is nervous. She has had great care here and I am hoping we can match that care at home. After the doctor left the room, Daddy asked her if she heard where the doctor said that she could go. "The zoo?" she asked. She is such a zoo nut.
Brenna ate her first cracker since surgery today. She visited the garden and her physical therapist helped her out of the wheelchair so that she could walk along the paths. Brenna did really well. She is not requiring much pain medication right now, despite her activity level.
Right now she is watching "Because of Winn Dixie" and happily resting in bed. She has been awake all morning long without a nap and talking up a storm. She is very excited that her cousins got a new puppy and has been talking about that quite a bit.
Ms. LeMoine and her girls are headed our way this afternoon and Brenna is excited to see them. She plans to show off her physical therapy skills during their visit. We'll have to see if we can get her to stand up straight, without slouching her shoulders. It still throws her to be so much taller and to see everyone else from a higher perspective.
Her french toast just arrived and she is nibbling away. Hopefully she will reach her goals today :o)
