Sorry I haven't posted for a couple days. Abby's doing great. The first night at the hospital was very long. She keep moaning in her sleep, and would wake up and cry. Seth and I took turns semi-sleeping in the bed with her. Dr Clary did come in late in the evening and told the nurses they could be 'more liberal' with her morphine. So they up'd the next dosage around 1am and she was in a little less pain. She started waking up around 5am and I tried to get her to sit up and start playing a little. she did and by 5:30 she wanted a banana and more Sprite. Around 9am she decided to get out of bed, and there was no stopping her then! She road all around the hospital floor in a wagon with her baby, her drink, her princess balloon, and a cell phone. I have some cute pictures I will post later.
We went home around noon and picked up big brother! Abby was so happy to see him! I had asked Seth if he wanted to go to the hospital the day of Abby's surgery or if he wanted to spend a few days at Cousin Lawson's house and go to Vacation Bible Camp. Thankfully he chose the more fun option and had lots of fun with Claire and Lawson. But he was very happy to get home and see his sister.
Abby has a about a 3 inch incision that runs behind her ear from the top to the bottom, she also has a tiny incision a little above that. Dr Clary is the best as far as I'm concerned, but he's not too good of a hairdresser (J/K) There was a good chunk of hair shaved off. The poor girl is going to be a little lopsided for a while until I can take her somewhere to try to somewhat salvage her doo. For now, I've been trying to keep it all pulled up to the other side so her hair doesn't get into the inicison area. Oh, we took her bandage off today so we've got to watch her even more closely that she doesn't bang her head on anything.
More to come.
