It is been 2 weeks post recovery and we are doing good! She is pretty much back to her happy, smiley self. Last week was pretty rough, I'm not going to lie. On top of the surgery she woke up last Tuesday completely stopped up with a cold and started running a fever late in the day so I rushed her to the pediatrician and it turns out another UTI as well. But she got antibiotics for that and then her staples out on Thursday so that really helped with her being so uncomfortable. This past weekend we just relaxed. Much needed! We went out and did some shopping, really just to get out of the house, but also to feel somewhat normal again. It is really important to us to do things as a family again after everything has been so out of routine, especially for my 4 year old, Rylee. She does really well with it, who wouldn't with round the clock grandmothers giving her attention, plus my husband and I take her individually for some special time. In fact I'm pretty sure there was not a day last week or the previous week where she did not convince someone she really needed an ice cream or a treat on the way home from school! Oh yeah she knows how to work it! But Hadley also started sleeping much better over the weekend so that meant we all got more rest. So this week we are back at daycare and back to work full time so we are getting back into our routine whether we like it or not! I have posted a pic of her scar that is healing very nicely. It needed to be done since I grossed you out with the previous one! Not bad at all.
From here we have to really ramp up the physical therapy. We need to get her back to where we started and then try and progress more. She still seems to be sore but it does seem to be less each day. She would scream when we picked her up this time last week but now just a little grunt and maybe a whimper. We have Physical Therapy this Thursday so we will make a plan of attack and get her moving again!
