Lots happened today, leaving little time for updates... Lilly's morning started early today when the orthopedic resident showed up to remove 2 of her 3 drains. Lilly was not happy with how that felt, and screamed "I wan' that man be all done! That man! That man--be all done!". It went from a cry to a command to "that man."
The rest of her day included an appointment with OT to work on some strength and coordination, a visit from Grammy and Pop Pop, an appointment with PT for more work on walking, standing, and movement, some x-rays, a visit with cousin Bif and her friend Nick who attend college nearby, some presents, more fun e-catds, and even a package in the mail from Aunt Paula. Nit to mention lots of yicky nasty medicines throughout the day.
More amazing strides forward today--while she is definitely weak and way off balance, she is walking more steps St a time and increasingly independently. We spent Lora of time in the various play rooms today--much better than sitting around in bed, don't you think? And her appetite us definitely improve g.
Dr. Campbell us really pleased with her progress and joked that even getting hit by a truck couldn't stop this girl. He's right.
Now to sleep with no roommate--at least for now. I suspect that won't last but we'll enjoy the quiet while we have it.
Praise God, and good night, dear friends!
