And she's up!

Movie watching/sleeping with Emily
So much has happened since 5:00 Monday afternoon.

* made it through the night with her daddy and myself helping.
* arterial line blocked so she had her finger pricked (hates that)
*did a few other housekeeping issue.
Then......did this!

 Then back to bed then UP AGAIN and walked across the room! She stayed up a couple hours each time today and the goal for tomorrow is to be up 3 times. A few surprises trickled in throughout the day and those were a bright spot too.

All in all it has been a long hard 24 hours. We anticipate an easier (please oh please) night. She is eating lightly so she is able to add oral pain meds.

For those of you who have inquired she had between t3 and L3 fused. That makes for a humdinger of a bandage on her back.

Emily returned via The Britton Express to school and Charlie is still biding his time with us.

Laura is tucked in for the night and I know we all wish her sweet dreams. We also thank God for all the help today.

    Hi Sweetheart, I know you have had a tough day and the nurses old us Wednesday is the MEAN day. We'll think positive, it will be a good day. I understand there will be a pleasant surprise. Hope you like it. Here is a riddle: What is a very slow ship called?

    I'll send the answer tomorrow

    Love, Nanny xxxooo

    Thank you for the update! Laura you have been on my mind all day, wondering how you have been doing. I am sure you are completely worn out from the day and I really hope you can get some good sleep tonight. That will help so much! Day 1 DONE! Sounds like you are going to rock this recovery thing! Love, Andrea Hanson

    Go Laura! That is awesome that you've been up and walking so soon after the surgery. I am praying that Wednesday is a good day. I can tell you are taller. Keep on walking and eating and resting!

    Sending healing thoughts your way! It must have been hard to get up and walk, but those doctors know what they are doing, and you'll get better faster.
    Hang in there and know that there are many, many people praying for you.
    Cheers!

      Thanks, Liz. We are not sure what keeps some posts from showing up. We appreciate all of them and thank all for their attempts. The "blog system" is a bit flawed. vcb

    Laura:

    I am praying that today will be an easier day than predicted by your nurses. You are doing so well and being so brave. Sitting up and walking are tough things to have to do after surgery. I'm sending love and good thoughts to you and all your family.

    Hi Laura, I missed your sweet soft smile at lunch today. I always look forward to seeing everyone and there were two special ones missing, you and Charlie!!
    Wow! I can't believe how well you are doing. I know you must be uncomfortable but that will pass a little each day. Stay strong and know that you are being prayed for and you are SO loved!!!
    Hugs, Jeanie
